Is there a problem with the download of Mike McCombe's TerrianTool, or am I just getting it all cocked up?

You download the .jar file. This is the explicit link:
http://www.ubss.org.uk/terraintool/TerrainTool.jar
Then follow the instructions on this page:

Done all that in the past and this link gives the same set of files.
3 sub directories :- mccombe, mccombe.terrian.data, meta-inf and one file tester.class
None of these are .jar
So where is it hidden?

It's not hidden! It's at the address I gave above.
http://www.ubss.org.uk/terraintool/TerrainTool.jar
The clue is in the .jar at the end. I've just downloaded it onto a different computer and it works fine. Do you Java installed?

That link pionts to a .zip file not a .jar file on my pc, with the files I noted above. No .jar files anywhere. But when I run the .zip file with Java it runs correctly, creating the correct directories etc.
Don't know why this does not come back with .jar as other java files do? (Java 6 update17)
A bit strange, but you now see my confusion.

Just tried from vista, got choice of open with Java or save, I opt to save and have a jar.
Steve - I remember you have problem coverting file formats. If you can give me an example input file with every kind of screw up in it and an example output file where they are all corrected I'll sit and write a conversion program for ya.

Thanks for the comment Rhys, thought I was going daft.
I just renamed it with a .jar extension instead of .zip and java runs if fine now. I'm still on XP by the way, so it's not just a vista problem.

In FireFox it's fine.
In IE8, when you hover over the link it shows terraintool.jar in the status bar, but when you click to download it, it tells you it's a zip file and offers to save it as terraintool.zip.
