Bob

You may have your mimemap file set to tag any unknown file type as zip
as the HardDisc images are not zip ones but self extracting files or
tarball files.

So download the HardDisc4 self extracting file, change it's file type
to &FFC, i.e select highlight the file > menu > Set file type &FFC,
then double click on it to extract. All this is mentioned by clicking
on the blue information icon to the right of the files on the ROOL
website.
