I have tried that (although admittedly I am a newcomer to this).  I tried
it for Disk2 only.  In the directory C:\Windows\Temp\pcwin155\disk2
(which is what Winzip 70 extracts pcwin155.zip into), I created a folder
called

C:\Windows\Temp\pcwin155\disk2\disk2.id.

I  then attempted to extract Disk2.id from the unzipped pcwin155 file
again.  The error message I got this time was that Winzip was unable to
extract the file.  Clicking on the File Properties for Disk2.id in the
unzipped tar file, Winzip told me that it contained 29 files with 0%
compression.

Could this be the problem or is it (as it usually is) just my ignorance??
