.zip archives open useless .exe files
iMac G5 1st generation with PPC OS 10.4.11.
I have read and reread several posts on the subject. I tried several types of unarchival software to no avail. All of them unarchived to an .exe file. Is there one that will open .zip file into a usable format. And it's not just one .zip file, it's ALL of them, and this for the last 4 years!! Could it be that this is because all the files are archived using MacIntel Macs? I hope you guys and/or dolls can help me resolve this. jb99

If it's an exe file you get, then it's a windows program (or virus). Generally mac programs will have mac or osx in their title to help set them apart from the windows programs.
 Mac's archive helper will unarchive most zip files. For anything else I use stuffit expander. But if you can't open it, then obviously something wrong with the file I'd suggest.
