The Monster that is Windows
« on: July 02, 2004, 11:57:20 PM »
In my fledgling attempts to understand the rudiments of the Win98 OS, I keep getting balked by my inability to open Zip files.

Whenever I click on a zipped archive, the system says it can't find 'Program'. I assume this is analogus to the Amiga's default tool, but my system doesn't have it it seems.

The Win98 system was installed to a freshly formatted drive, so I would have thought this tool and any other used by the OS would be included (?).

If that assumption is misguided (and I won't be surprised if it is), then where does one get this 'Program' tool - and where do you put it?

Cheers,

JaX

Right, I need something like Winzip or one of the other tools mentioned.

I can't really contribute to any of the 'What's best' tangential stuff which simple queries inevitably create. Anyone actually interested in my particular system will have picked it up on my earlier threads. However, please go on arguing about Windows if you wish. I got what I needed, many thanks.
