Japan DEM data

Global Mapper User
I have been importing Japanese DEM data for months now with no issue. I tried this morning to just drag-drop the file into Global Mapper and it gave an error "reading of this data directly from the archive is not supported. please unarchive the data and try again". Well i was running version 14, so i upgraded to version 15, and it still gave the same message. It will not let me load the data the normal way either, it gives the same error. Not sure why, but it seems i have messed up by trying to drag-drop, it will not import my japanese DEM files anymore.
UPDATE: maybe its the Japan Site?? ???????????????
I tried to load Global Mapper on a fresh machine, and download from that...and it strill did not work. Is it possible that the Japan site id feeding out bad *.zip files??
My *.zip files from months ago still work, but nothing that i download from the site works anymore...I'm confused.
Thanks for any help,

Scottie,
Looks like the Japanese site changed their DEM format from what they had before to a XML-based format. I will see if we can add support. Not sure why they went and changed it from what worked just fine before.
Thanks,

I knew i wasn't crazy!! They are....Ha!
Thanks for the support Mike, and good Luck....i really cannot think of another way to get this data converted besides using GlobalMapper, so Thank You. -
I've completed adding support for the new Japanese DEM format in XML. I have placed a new build at http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper15.zip with the latest changes for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v15.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v15 version there is a new build at http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper15_64bit.zip .
Thanks,
