Hi, I was trying to donwload games from ab20 yesterday, but I need a copy of zoo. The zoo archiver on ab20 has a .pak suffix. What is .pak format? Someone please help, because I am finding this quite annoying. I need to get zoo so that I can get lharc so that I can get zoom so that I can get the lemmings demo. Jesus, it's enough to make one save some time and just go buy the game, but I would like to get mechforce too. Thanks in advance, doug

Just type the filename and it ought to extract itself. Note that I said "should" and "ought." --Rick Wrigley fhwri@conncoll.bitnet ~~~---second-hand smoke is THEFT---~~~

You probably have a file called something like zoo.pak. Just make this file executable (using PROTECT), if it is not already. Then run it and it will create all the files from the zoo package. Files that end in .pak are self-extracting archives. I've cross-posted and redirected followups to comp.sys.amiga.misc because this is probably of general interest.

Then run the program as if it were not packed. It will automnatically unpack itself and then you can list the directory and see what was in the zoo.pak archive.
