Thanks, Franz.

Believe it or not, I have downloaded so many times I have lost count.  At least
a half dozen times.  Very exasperating!

After downloading to my desktop, I first used Norton Antivirus to check it for
viruses.  Having found none, I then double clicked on the icon.  That's when I
got the error message.

Incidentally, out of desperation, I did try to use winzip but it didn't work, as
you might suspect.
