What the *&^..???  Yes, the zip unpacked fine -- got the docs, and 
.ea2 files and all.  But the EXS didn't see the .sf and ignored it...

Ah, that's probably been the problem then.

Great -- thanks!  Downloading right now...

:-)  I'll have a look.  I also downloaded the Jeux1.4 organ from the 
same location.  Lots of patches as well, and in principle good organ 
sounds, but somehow half (or more) of the looppoints are screwed up. 
Quite a horrid job to fix.  I'm slowly making progress, but this is 
gonna take a while.  When I'm done, I'll make the entire organ 
available (204 .exs instruments).
