I think the only problem with Zap2it was that they put some spaces
somewhere...
All you need to do is change the file(s) named ZapListings.pm in your
system.  The line that reads:

while ( $options=~s/<OPTION value="(\d+)">([^<]+)<\/OPTION>//ios ) {

To make it like so:

while ( $options=~s/<OPTION value="(\d+)"\s*>([^<]+)<\/OPTION>//ios ) {

and the line that reads

$p->{description}=$2;

to

$p->{description}=massageText($2);

ALWAYS make backups before you change anything...  I learned that the
hard way -- actually I learn that the hard way ever couple of weeks :-)
