I did download "wintop.zip"! It now resides quite happily in C/documents/wintop.zip!!!!

When I DOUBLECLICK on the file "wintop.zip", it doesn't try to install or anything.

All that happens when I DOUBLECLICK on wintop.zip, is that a window pops up: The title bar says "OPEN WITH".

It goes on to say: "Click the program you want to use to open "Wintop.zip" If the program you want to use it not on the list click other"

Underneath that it says "description of zip files" & a fill in the blank.

Underneath that is a list of programs to choose from such as : acrobat, aim, mplayer,cag, ccw32,fontview, iexplore, ...............

I have tried all those listed to no result, only errors stating that wintop.zip could not be opened by any of them...

Hi CAMPER SPECIAL,

Read the last few posts again. You need to download a ZIP program, and 2 people have provided links for you. You need this program, or one like it, in order to open any .zip files.

That is why you keep getting problems trying to install wintop.zip. Even though the names are similar, you need winzip installed, before trying to open wintop.zip.

Hope this clears away the confusion.

I STILL CAN'T GET THIS THING TO WORK ! ! !

I downloaded & installed WINZIP (the unregistered version).

It seems to function, but it doesn't seem to want to have ANYTHING to do with WINTOP!

Does anybody have an explanation of WINZIP?
What does it do, or supposed to do with WINTOP?
Several months back, I downloaded something similar called "NETZIP CLASSIC". Couldn't get it to roll over, set up & speak, or fetch the newspaper. So I deleted it!

What's this WINZIP-NETZIP thing about anyway?

A Zip utility like the 2 you have referred to is used to compress files! It is possible to "zip" several files into a smaller package, thereby making it easier to download!

Whenever you come in contact with a file that ends in ".zip" then you will need a Zip utility to "unpack" the files contained within. Untill, and unless, you "unpack" these files, you will not be able to utilise that ".zip" program, for example, your wintop.zip


After you have installed Winzip, then go back to the wintop.zip file, and right-click it. You should get options, one of which will be unzip.

Let us know.

Hi,

I use "Expander" and it unzipped for me.
It's Simple and Free.
