  • Does this work?

    More computer school going on here.I've uploaded an OCC scenario and I want to know if it works.Should be a self extracting one.


    you can play if you want but I'm really just interested whether it works or not

          Well, the extension .SEA is not recognized on my PC. You say it is a self extracting archive? I tried changing the extension to .exe and running it but Windows doesn't recognize it as a valid win32 app.

          Best to stick with zips.

            Self-extracting archives can not be used on different operating systems. So a Mac self-extractor won't work on Windows and the other way round Windows self-extractors won't work on a Mac. It's probably best to follow Tom's advice and use regular zip files.

              ah ha!thank you sirs.Unfortunately, while I can decompress .zip files I havn't figured out how to make them yet.I can only make .hqx so far.
              Back to drawing board

              thnx again

                I'm using Netscape and can't even download the file. It just opens another window filled with nonsensical characters.

                      After doing a search on www.download.com I found Aladdin Expander which can handle those hqx files. I suggest you also take a look there; maybe they have a Mac program there that can make zips.

                          I don't know everything zbout zip files, but as far as I know zip is a standard format, so if you make a zip file with pkzip you can unzip it with any unzip program. If you want to be sure that it works you can download it and make a test zip. You could then mail it to me or post a download link here and I'll see if it works.

                              thnx Paul.I had a look and there is indeed some utilities available.

                              There is MacZip which requires me to send $15 to get the code that zip uses or something like that.

                              Then there is PKzip.How common is pkzip?It says others MUST have pkzip to unzip
