Some source files are "zipped", that is, archived into a .zip file to reduce the file size, or to combine many files (eg. multiple MIDI files) into a single file for convenience. 7-Zip is open source software for archiving and expanding .zip files. Only available for Windows - Mac users will have to look elsewhere.
