This problem has occured twice, so to keep it from happening again,
here's what you do:

Save as:
"something.diz"

^             ^ this time you actually INCLUDE the double quotes! :)
Then it will listen to what you want, instead of do what it thinks best.
(Oh yeah, do same thing for mouse.zip. Save as "mouse.zip" WITH the
double quotes....)
