Elduin Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Please excuse my ignorance... I dled Shadowkeeper, then went to unzip, using my version of winzip, which is the oldest version of winzip I've ever seen. Then this littlew window popped up, saying something about how my version isn't using long filenames, and may instead be using the DOS[8].[3] way of doing... something.... and then I was stuck. So, any suggestions would be useful... unless they're to get a new version of winzip stupid ancient computer.... Link to comment
BigRob Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Basically, that version of Winzip can't handle any filename over 8 letters (MS-DOS 8.3 Format). So that means that all files will have their names shortened to 8 letters, plus extension. I don't know if that will be a problem, as I seem to recall Shadowkeeper being a single executable file. If there are any additional files, you can just rename them to their correct names and everything will be good. But I would reccomend a newer version of Winzip (Or possibly WinRar). Link to comment
Rastor Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I recommend 7z over WinZip or WinRAR. Windows XP can unzip Shadowkeeper. Link to comment
Elduin Posted May 22, 2005 Author Share Posted May 22, 2005 Thanks Note to self: save up money, buy computer, preferably with something better than windows 98.... erk... Link to comment
BigRob Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 You should be able to upgrade to a more recent zipping program, even a computer running Win 98 should be able to handle them... Just make sure to keep a back up of your old version in case. Link to comment
KIrving Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I'm running Win 98 and have been using 7z for a few months now with no problems. I highly recommend it. It's easy to use which is perfect for me! Link to comment
