It appears that .caz files might be using some feature(s) of the
compressed file format that WinZip understands but neither gunzip, zlib,
nor Stuffit Expander understand.

Or perhaps:

	1) they're not putting in valid CRCs;

	2) they don't check the CRCs;

	3) neither does WinZip;

	4) gunzip, zlib, and Stuffit Expander do, however.
