 I believe the files are corrupted. I used different unzippers on
three platforms - a Mac implementation, a DOS version and a UNIX
implementation, and all failed. I managed to run a zip fixer on them,
and could extract two out of the three files in monsters.zip. I could
also extract most, but not all, of the music.zip files. As it turns
out the damaged file in monsters.zip - advmon.t - is not necessary as
you can modify your adv.t yourself following the comments in the
(sketchy) documentation. However the music file is missing important
data. I'm not interested in it as it's platform specific, so I probably
won't be calling the High Energy board to get it.
