Thanks, Dennis. I did just install Winzip, as you suggested.

As usual, it involved answering, by checking many preferences, lots of questions. There were many stages to the process and right now I have a message on my computer saying

"Security Warning. Do you want to install and run "winzip80.exe from..." (a series of numbers"

The publisher cannot be determined due tothe problems below: Authenticode signature not found.

Yes No More Information


I read the warnings and decided to click Yes, and install and run it in spite of the fact that it might kill me or something.

When I clicked Yes, I got this message:

WinZip Self-Extractor

Zip file is damaged, truncated, or has been changed since it was created. If you downloaded this file, try downloading again.


So it's in there someplace, but....

*sigh*

"I agree with you that geeksters don't realize that a lot of what they take for granted is incomprehensible to your average dude."

geeksters, perhaps, yes. but people here on this thread attempting to assist others with technical problems, no.
