At some point during the transfer, whether by your zip package or
subsequently after moving the files around, something has translated the
files from binary to text. There are actually several packages that will do
that by accident (the "auto detect" options in some ftp packages will always
upload MC stacks as text for example). You'll have to try to find out where
that happened and prevent it.
