Once the app is correctly unzipped, it works fine, just like the command line tools. This problem isn't unique to your zipped file, it occurs with a number. I've just learned over the years that archiving/de-archiving packages are not all equal.

Howard,
That impresses me as quite strange behavior! I do occasionally find that some archive files, when they are double clicked, want to open in Stuffit Expander rather than Archive Utility. But even if they pick Stuffit Expander, they basically expand properly every time. Exception: as mentioned in earlier posts to this thread, certain ADE e-books that have known issues with their zip file internal formatting. Other than those, I have never had a problem with expanding zipped files, as long as they have downloaded aright, so I'm scratching my head as to what might be causing your problem.
Later!
Eric
