- Hmmm.. possibly, there is an error in the zip file, you have a hacked version
- of PKZip, or possibly and out of date version.. depends on where the file
- came from, what version of PKZip you're using, and what speed are you.. EMail
- Me back here if possible, I don't have an internet address yet.. but I am on
- prodigy as BSTB64B.. i'm looking to get an account on Internet, but currently
- don't have one and am operating through a UUCP gateway.. Hope I can help,
- just send me the version of PKZip you're using, where you downloaded the file
- from, what speed was that board, and what type of modem you have (IF the file
- WAS downloaded).. and i'll get back to you as soon as possible.
