5 Data file untar problem... - ID: 483978

Last Update: Comment added ( fesarius )

Details:

Is it possible to download and use
basilisk.1.04_data.tar.gz in a Microsoft (Windows ME)
environment? When I download it, and attempt to untar
it using WinZip, I get "Error after processing 60
entries". I've tried version 1.03 (data) and 1.04
(all); the only difference is how many entries it
processes before the error occurs.

The source code archives untarred successfully.

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

For now, though, I'm marking this item closed.
