I finally have it figured out.  Note that the server says it is "compressed
and uuencoded".  Well it is.  Rename libdist.zip (after cating and decoding
the parts) to libdist.zip.Z and uncompress libdist.zip.Z.  Then unzip
libdist.zip resulting from this and you'll find the files you are looking
for.  Threw me for a loop too.  The server apparently acts on libdist.zip
in a script and doesn't recognize or use the new filename after it is
compressed.

Hope this helps.

Yes, at least the previous version.  The first problem is that their mail
server sends UUENCODE files with spaces which most mailers truncate when they
are at the end of the line.  I had to append spaces to the end (used an editor
and put a M in the last column).  Then I could uudecode it.  At that point,
PKUNZIP didn't want to have anything to do with it.  However, there is a
Windows Unzip that did process it.  I have a version that is working.

I finally figured it out too.  What a mess.  The filename should be changed
so that a Z is at the end.  Duh...
