hi, I bought Postal 1 on GOG, downloaded the windows installer as explained in
the README file. When I use innoextract on it, it doesn't produce the same
result as explained in the README. Lot of files like POSTAL.INI or the res
folder get extracted in the current working directory.
I adapted the dos2unix command to run it on ./POSTAL.INI and res/levels/postal\
plus\ realms.ini, it works correctly, but then, I stay in my current working
directory, type "postal1", the game starts full screen and display an error:
One or more required files could not be found.
If you added (or removed) a drive to your system after the game was installed,
try putting the CD in another drive (if you have more than one) or re-install
the game.
See code A105 in Postal Help for more information.
Using the linux GOG installer, unzip it, go into data/noarch/game/ and execute
postal1 and game starts correctly. Not sure how to make use of the windows
installer, but the linux one is easy.

Hmm... it looks like the GOG people played with the settings of the
Windows version (and while they were at it, it also looks like they
"upgraded" the version of Postal you're buying from the original to the
one with all the add-ons, so that's a win).
I'll download the Linux version then update the pkg/README.
Thanks!
