I hope this is not because of something I am doing wrong but, I have not been able to extract the example code that is posted on the pages for the two products linked to below. I have tried this with multiple computers and zip file extraction software packages with no success. I am sure that both of the example codes are very helpful and would like to take advantage of them.
Could any one please let me know if this is something I am doing wrong or if it happens to be a real problem that I have found? Thanks so much for your help.

As far as I know, none of the zip files (or compressed folders, or whatever you want to call them) on Sparkfun.com are working anymore. That has been the case for a couple of weeks at least. I’ve sent them a message about it - maybe it would help if you would too.
There were two threads somewhere here in the forums with other people having the same problem. I just tried one of the code examples you linked to, and it failed for me as well.
Works fine for me, tested on Mac OS 10.6 / Safari and Mac OS 10.6 / Firefox.
Maybe everyone thats having trouble should post info about the browser / OS / unarchiver they’re using; maybe there’s an element in common.

How about that? I just opened up Google Chrome and tried it, and they worked just fine. But nothing works in IE8/Windows Vista.
Thanks for the tip. I just did the same thing with Chrome and FireFox and they worked just fine. Thanks everyone for the help.
BTW one of my previous comments got stuck in a spam filter so it may or may not be coming later.
I’ll see if I can find the other threads and mention this over there.
Thanks, David.
