Trust no one, I always say. Even after changing ".ZIPEXE"
to ".zip", "Archive Utility(.app)" seems to think that you
want to zip it, not unzip it.
On the bright side, the Finder's (control/mouse2) "Burn
Disk Image "X" to disc..." function (whatever that actually
runs) seems to create usable DVDs.
An adventurous soul might try an attack using "zip -a" to
see if that might help, but if these programs look at the
front of the archive instead of its tail (where the "Central
Directory" lies), then I'd expect the leading unzipsfx
executable to be just as confusing to them, even if the
offsets are right.
Everything's complicated.
