Hi,

I find that the zip files on the whatistheapple2gs site don't open
well on PCs. I tend to use 7zip to unzip the file, and then use it
again to unzip the file without the extension that should get you the
four 2mg files in that archive (I have just tried it). Windows inbuilt
zip doesnt like the files from that site. On a Mac they all open fine.
You can get 7zip from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/

Cheers
Andrew
