Re: [Zope] RE: Wampum Generator
It's a Winzip thing. I'll bet wampum generator is a .tar file, just rename it to a .tgz file and it should open just fine. Just some thoughts/guesses: I'll bet Kathy uses Internet Explorer. Don't know about Netscape, but it becomes more and more difficult to get IE _not_ to try to be "smart" about any file you download. In this case I think there's some kind of transparent mechanism which kicks in and tries to transparently decompress files of type application/x-tar. Guess it's a helper for compressed vrml .wrl.gz (or similar) files. In this case renaming to .tgz works, but I think I saw the same mess the other way around when IE didn't remove the .gz suffix but nonetheless transparently decompressed the file. These things are extremely annoying when dealing with relativly unexperienced clients who, say, just want to _download_ an .avi file with a left-klick. MS has implemented a lot of magic there, AFAIK IE even tries to guess the filetype by its content in some cases and then ignores each and every http-header which might suggest otherwise. Adding "Content-Disposition: attachment" as a http-header seems to help (for the .avi case). cheers, oliver ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
[Zope] RE: Wampum Generator (tar in WinZip)
Hi Just want to mention one pitfall in WinZip - by default it CR/LFs all files extracted from a tar archive (unless you turn that option off). Note that the option is NOT on the "extract files" dialog. It hosed 150Mb of .deb files today - and I didn't realise until I had burned them onto a CD. I couldn't believe that was what it was doing at first. "Nah", I thought, "how would it know which files were binaries?" Turns out it doesn't know. It doesn't care either. In case you want to avoid this happening to you, note that PowerArchiver is more or less like WinZip but it can handle bzip2 as well, and it's FREE.

I am a newbie and would like to play around with it. I have the how-to docs. But my problem starts at the download! When I try to open it with winzip I get this error: Error reading header after processing 0 entries. I have successfully untared other files with winzip. I have dowmloaded it 4 times to make sure it wasnt just corrupted. Is there another place that I can download it? Also any tips on install/use are welcomed!
