It would be interesting if you could *attach* an "unzip -v" listing of that zip file. I'm a bit surprised, though, that Oracle would send a zip file.

For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins are mud people. However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE65GnS9HxQb37XmcRApGGAKCpysdh+KyxrP5QHF20rLEvHKZnDACfTzfq YF0nzw2QcoUzmz/Xmu5iJ/I= =7WGS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
