Thanks for your help.

Yeah, I set CLRMamePro to unzip and CRC32 check each file. No errors reported. I have far more trust in your program.

I find it odd that CRCheck32 (http://www.breezin.net/sdetails.php?SID=2) finds problems with most, but not all of my files. Even if they are computing the CRC check incorrectly, wouldn't it be an all or nothing kind of thing? The CRC algorithm is pretty straightforward.
