If not, what did you decide on? I too was surprised that --speed-large-files runs out of memory. In the old days, it just used to run a program called diffh. That seems to have gone, so I have written my own, which you are welcome to try. -Ian Do you still need help with this?

You can use unzip on linux to get the content. Unzip usually recognizes the files. Most of these files are zipfiles which autoextract on windows. You can use unzip on linux to get the content.

However, it works when started with Wine - it starts a simple Windows installer, and eventually you'll get the files you want (and more confusing, Windows only README files).
