it sounds like not everything got extracted from the zip file. using explorer, check to make sure you have the following (pretend everquest is installed in c:\program files\everquest):
a file: c:\program files\everquest\storyline\storyFoofySpells.txt
a folder: c:\program files\everquest\storyline\foofy
a folder: c:\program files\everquest\storyline\foofy\data
in the foofy folder there should be a bunch of files named things like ALL06-01.TXT, ONOTHER-071.TXT etc.
in the data folder there should be a ton of files named like 0001.TXT, 3586.TXT etc.
it sounds to me like only some files were extracted, maybe even just the main index (storyFoofySpells.txt). or maybe you ran out of disk space while extracting, or maybe the extract process was interrupted in the middle. just try to extract the zipfile again, and make sure you extract everything; because there is a lot
