I do not think this has anything to do with Graham. I do not have
Graham, but I got the same symtoms. Examine the directories and files
involved. Look at the structure with a file manager that shows real
names and contents. Look again at the message you got from Zip. I had
to read it three times before it clicked. I believe you will find
genuine redundincies with slightly different real names. Did you
reinstall Graham over itself?
