I want to download a blacksmith scenario. The instructions tell me to unzip the file. As I am a computer imbecile can someone tell me what you type or press to unzip a file. I use a pc with Windows 95 and Microsoft Office 97.
Thanks.

Ok, this is a simple problem to solve. Since the Blacksmith doesn't require files to be .SEA(self-extracting archive) you must have a program like Alladin System's Stuffit to .zip files and Alladin Expander to un .zip them.

I have found WinZip to be a nice program for extracting ZIP files. You can probably still get the trial version, so I would just search for it on Yahoo! or something.

Sorry Shiivek but I must say that I would rather use Stuffit or Expander these are both shareware programs that don't take long to download and can do all you need to do I would much rather use these than a trial version of anything

I've downloaded the Aladdin software - and it works!!!
e-mail me if you want the registration kode to get rid of that annoying box at the beginning (i don't wanna post it in a public place.... i ph33r the WinZip® authors )
