I had no problem unzippping the archive with WinZip 6.3 under NT.3.5.1, nor
using Info-Zip Unzip 5.32 for Win95/NT, nor Info-Zip Wiz401 (their
equivalent of WinZip).
So, in conclusion, the original problem (not being able to extract files
from the archive) seems to be originated by using pkunzip or a version of
WInZip prior to Winzip 6.2.

This is a different problem, and a neat one at that. If you use a hex editor
to have a look at the funny characters, they turn out to be not underscores,
but x'ff'. I found such characters, for example, in thinkpad_340.html.
Obviously, Netscape and IE4.0 don't know how to display x'ff'. :-}
Paul, could you please check your original files for x'ff'? Once we know, if
they were there originally, we can figure out how to proceed.
