Hello
Try to download Cxbx 0.7.8c-Source.zip from [1] and try to file.unpack
it. You should get the following:
>tar -xpf "/home/liv/Downloads/src/Cxbx-0.7.8c-Source.zip"  (15857)
/bin/tar: This does not look like a tar archive
/bin/tar: Skipping to next header
/bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
>tar -xpf "/home/liv/Downloads/src/Cxbx-0.7.8c-Source.zip" (15857) returned '2'

Is this a known issue? Regards
Liviu
