Hello, all…
I’m trying to get into the first gamebible, but am having some trouble. I downloaded a handy hex editor program and did all the password-cracking dirty work, but now can’t figure out how to enter the password.
When I clicked on the .zip file, I was expecting a prompt to enter the password. But instead, I just get an “unable to unzip” message. *I don’t have WinZip*; I have a different zip program (can’t remember the name off-hand; sorry); could this be my problem? Should I download WinZip and give it a try? Or do I need to enter the password somewhere else (in-game, perhaps?)
Any help would be appreciated… Thx!

Grrr... What a hassle. I love the zip/unzip program that I have, but WinZip automatically becomes the default zip/unzip program when you install it (IIRC). So, I have to install WinZip, do the gamebible, then uninstall WinZip... (?)
I checked, BTW; I use the latest version of PKUnzip right now; it's great (except when unzipping gamebibles, apparently).

That's exactly why I don't like WinZip as well... Oh bother, it looks like I'll have to suck it up and get it anyway for now...

I like WinRAR the most overall. WinZip is too "simple" and doesn't support RARs (hehe), and WinACE's interface looks like it was scrapped together in some places (though it's normally okay).
I keep PKZIP and ACE (DOS versions) in my environment paths for batch extraction, and for handling that odd ACE file that I sometimes come across, and I use WinRAR for everything else.
I prefer ACE to RAR, because they both have similar compression rates, but ACE is much faster at compression/decompression. ZIP kind of sucks compared to the two, really...
