You're right, WinZip 5.6 is inflating the sizes of the files, even though
it reports the correct values in its own window.

I've installed WinZip 6.2 (16-bit) which decompresses correctly-sized
files.

Hooray! I now get a spinning torus on the screen : )

(This might explain why some of the demos I've tried haven't been working
properly. Anyway, at least the problem's been nailed down. Thanks!)
