That is precisely what I meant -- I was a little unclear in my original
note. _Probably_ the installer just needs to see the filename in the
right place and _probably_ winzip fails to restore the ID files because
they are of 0 length so _probably_ if the DISKN.ID files were to be
created originally with some non-zero garbage contents everything would
work fine automagically.
