Hi Joe,
I have attempted to contact you via Netmail but, due to my poor luck
succeeding in contacting people by netmail, I'm going to attempt both
echomail and netmail with this one. It concerns a potential problem with the
release archive of Shadow Warrior v1.0 (3DSW10.ZIP) which I received via my
APG_GAME Filebone Link through FidoNet. Since the game had your name in the
archive comment, I figured you'd be the person to ask regarding questions.
Simply put, has anyone reported any trouble extracting and installing the
game from the archive distributed to the filebone? I was curious about the
game, but when I tried to extract it PKUNZIP v2.04g reported CRC errors on
two different files (SWSW10._1 and SWSW10._2). I attempted to install anyway
and the install program also told me the files were corrupted.
My first thought was that something caused the transfer to fail while I was
receiving it. After all, it is a 12 meg archive. However, this was refuted
when examination showed that my copy's CRC32 is exactly what was shown in the
accompanying .TIC file attach for the file (CRC32=93D8DBBE). This leads me
to believe the files were bad when the archive was hatched into APG_GAME.
If you have any information or comments, feel free to contact me via this
echo or via Internet Email at the following address:
dsosebee@gisatl.fidonet.org
Note that the above address is supplied via a FidoNet/Internet Gateway and
accepts MAIL ONLY, please do not attempt to attach files to this address.
