For simplicity, where a binary release is specifically intended for Windows, I have packed it as a .zip archive. They should expand under most decompression programs, including WinZip whose code is now, I believe, integrated into the WindowsXP system. Other archives have been packed as .tar.gz archives, for maximum portability between platforms.

When creating a new archive, first choose TAR from "Save as Type". While adding files to that archive, choose "GZIPTar" or "BZIPTar" from the compression drop-down in the Options tab. See similar questions...

The most popular decompression software for Windows is WinZip, a commercial product with a free evaluation version. 7-zip and FreeZip are freeware alternatives. Once you have installed one of these tools, sayWinZip, you can right-click on a .zip file to get a WinZip menu. From there you can specify where you want to extract the files. If you're unzipping a .tar or related file, you may get a dialog saying your archive contains one file and asking whether to decompress and open it. See similar questions...

The harvester saves the records that are harvested into individual files on the file system, one record per file. Files are saved to either a default directory (which is named based upon the name of the provider and optionally the set that is being harvested) or a specific directory that was specified when setting up the harvest. Each harvest is then packaged into a zip archive. See similar questions...

In 99% of these cases it means that the archive contains incorrect headers. ZIP archives contain two copies of headers. 7-Zip reads both copies and won't open archives with incorrect data in the headers. Other ZIP programs can open some archives with incorrect headers, since these programs usually read only one copy of the headers, or they just ignore errors. If you have such archive, please don't call the 7-Zip developers about it. See similar questions...

These are gzip-compressed tar archives. If you have the GNU tar utility (included in all GNU/Linux distributions and many other versions of Unix including Mac OS X (Darwin), and available for MS-Windows as part of the free Cygwin software development package), you can unpack foo.tar.gz in one step: tar xfvz foo.tar.gz If you have another version of tar, it may not support the z option, and you may need to decompress using gzip before unpacking, like this: gzip -d foo.tar.gz tar xfv foo.

Answer : If you are using Windows then download the ZIP version. If you are using Mac then get the SIT instead. In some cases (such as texture packs) just a ZIP version is offered which should be compatible on both Windows and Mac systems. See similar questions...

This is normal. The damaged parts of your Zip archive will convert to zero size on output. The other common reason of file size decrease is when some of features of the original Zip archive are not supported and therefore absent from the recovered Zip archive. Demo-recovered Zip archive is smaller because it mostly consists of demo placeholders than actual data. See similar questions...

Exe files are the easiest files to download to your PC and your handheld -- just double click the downloaded file folder for automatic installation. Use these files unless your computer will not let you download it, or unless you have a Macintosh computer. Use .zip files if you have a PC but cannot download the .exe files. You must have a utility like Winzip to unzip the files once they are downloaded. Then move the unzipped files to your Install directory. The . See similar questions...

ZIP is a compressed file format. Some auction catalogues are compressed or zipped in order to reduce storage space and transfer times. To uncompress the file, you need a utility like WinZip (Windows). If you request a hard copy catalogue, a request will be made on your behalf to the auctioneer. UKPAD will make every effort to ensure that your request is made successfully. The auctioneer is then able to forward a catalogue to you when it is available. See similar questions...
