Question on how to open downloaded stories
Hi,
I just downloaded the both Camp stories by Net Wol'f but I can't seem to open them. What program do I have to use? I think the first Camp storie is great, I've read it about half when it was still on EWPUB.
Hope you guys can help me.
Gr.

Re: Question on how to open downloaded stories
The file is a .zip file. It needs to be opened with an unzipping program, such as WinZIP, WinRAR, or PKZIP. Windows, if that is what you're using, should have the ability to open / decompress the file natively. If you're using some other OS, there are different ways to do it. Linux has gzip, which should handle the file. the Mac OSes have other utilities to handle ZIP files.

This is true if you are talking Windows XP or Vista. Windows 2000 I don't think had it built in but I never used it enough to say this for sure. Anything older than that did not have a built in ability to open .zip files.

Yes is the answer.

You're quite right, 2000 was not imbued with the inherent ability to unzip files. XP was the first to implement the "compressed folder" feature. And, I must say, I hate it. XD
