You are not alone!

I downloaded a new copy, but it is in fact absolutely identical to a
copy I downloaded in 2007!

SparkFS 1.57 (the latest, I tink) will open it here, but trying to run
from the zip results in Data Transfer Abort at &21312A5c, which is
+42C8 in the Zip module (which is v1.52).

I have also seen similar messages to you if I try to drag it out of
the zip.

I have no proof that the zip used to open ok ... but I suspect one of
the many SparkFS changes since 2007 may have provoked this.
