If you're on OS9, use ZipIt, (in OS X I don't know) and open the .zip file
with it, then CHANGE the line feed setting at the right of the window and
unzip.

It should work if it's not a problem relative to sysex but a line feed in
the archive that destroy it whil unziping.

Else use a sysex utility

OS 9: ooops should work from your sequencer else try SysEx 452
On OS X:

=> sysex librarian works smoooothly
(used at the french importer to update MDs)

When you unzip something on a mac and it doesn't work right away after,
first try always the line feed trick, 99% of the time, it's the source of
the problem :-/
