I just uudecoded the file. UUdecode reported a corrupt last line.
PKUNZIP V1.10 unpacked all the files just fine. FV reports the files are
in Shrunk or Reduce-4 format.

In other words, I think your copy of Zip is broken (both of them,
actually... no imploded files in here), or you had a bad transfer.
