   Hi Alan,

   I get about the same weird result as August:

   Would you like to replace the existing file:

   ===   
      
   But afterwards there is a correct unpacked NODELIST.108 file.   
      
   When I rename the NODELIST.Z08 to NODELIST.ZIP, it unpacks without complaining:

   Everything is Ok

   Compressed: 52554   
   ===   
      
   So it seems 7z gets confused by the .Z08 extension. It probably thinks it's   
   file 8 in a multiple file archive...   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
