Hi  Walt, and congrats on getting out of the nursing home.

Don't know what OS you are using, but in XP and maybe others, you  can 
select the file, hit the application key and  find the option that says 
"extract all".   Windows will then un zip the file.   Don't see why your 
unzip program wouldn't work.     Then just move your newly unzipped folder 
to  wherever you want.

If your player is the Victor Reader stream, you should have gotten the 
Companion software with it that will do the job for you.   I don't bother 
using it and just extract with Windows, then  cut and paste the folder to 
my memory card.

73, Steve KW3A
