File Permissions - This time with Zipped files

I think I have mentioned before the nightmares we are having with file permissions on the Macs with Leopard. I guess it's because, like Windows, everyone is worried about security. Judging by the thousands of posts you will find if you type "Leopard Permissions" into Google I am not alone (the first post is Leopard permission Nightmare).

Today I received a two files from a student, both of which were zipped on a Mac at school. Can extracted them on any of the Macs here NO. Windows can!

It's a real P*I*T*A that every small job I try to do on the Mac offers up some kind of roadblock that make me go back to my trusty Vaio.
