I have never (as far as I know) said that *your* kits have any
issue, I rather would think the opposit.

I do not know why you are taking this personaly...

I often *do* have issues reading text files (like read-me files
or source code) from zipped VMS kits. In many cases this is due
to that the original files had variable-length records.

I do not understand why you have a problem with that...
