Hi Morton,

   I'm sending a copy of this to the CSuite developers and ccn-tech for 
their input.  I am unable to reproduce the problem here as the zip 
utility legally puts a space in between each file.  Why the VTN doesn't 
is possibly a fault with the zip script.

Techs and CSuite people:  Can you check the zip script to see if it's 
failing here?  CCN's present version works fine, but VTN's does not.
