There a number of things that seem wrong. I am assuming that your cocotape.exe 
program was written by Roger Taylor. If that is not correct, post a source for 
your cocotape.exe.

1) You can't convert a .zip file. You must unzip it to the .cas file.
2) Roger Taylor's Cocotape does not work with .cas files but rather Basic or ml 
files copied from a disk. At least that is what the help message implies.
3) I could successfully load the .cas file into MESS so the .cas file in the 
.zip is good.
4) I was able to convert the .cas file to a .wav file using MESS emulation of a 
Coco3. The .cas file was mounted, CLOAD, create a .wav file, CSAVE"NUKESIM".
The resulting .wav file would load into MESS and sounds right when played as a 
.wav file. It is 7.42M raw and 132K as a zip file.

I'll send the new zip file to you directly.
