Great -- it looks like the MIDI file problems and

Might map back to the same issue -- file corruption
happening because either [1] ASCII files didn't
undergo conversion to Mac CR-LF conventions, or
[2] binary files incorrectly did. Figuring out
what's going on here can be tedious, basically:
-- You might be FTP'ing the zip file in ASCII mode,
which would corrupt the MIDI files.
-- The Mac unzip tool might be detecting ASCII files
during unzipping and doing conversions on the fly,
but I doubt it.
-- The C libraries for MPW may always assume ASCII
files have Mac conventions when using standard
stdio file operations, or, since the Mac itself has
its own preferred set of I/O calls, it might be
assuming UNIX conventions for the stdio operations.
-- The MPW editor probably has its own rules for how
to deal with importing and writing ASCII files that
use non-Mac convention.
I'm not at all a Mac person, so I have no idea which
of these is going on, but these are the sorts of things
in general which are at the root of <CR> <LF> corruption
woes.
