Hi, I downloaded the Nascar 2 Demo form some web page and I was a set to
play it. But I clicked on the little box and everything started to unzip
it's self. (I think). Well At the dos Prompt I typed n2demo and It
started to load the game. But then it said something about the
sound files. So what I did was copy my sound files from Nascar 1 and
then tried again. It still didn't work. Now I get a message that says.
Can't load, (Or find, I forgot what it said),  nessacery Sound File. So
What's wrong? When I downloaded it, I put it in a dir called racing.
After it unziped itself it I installed it to a dir called Nascar2. But
when I checked that dir, it had nothing. I'm just trying to find what's
wrong. I did something, (I don't know what), and it deleted everything
that was in the Racing Dir. So, should I try and download it again, or
just wait for the full version? I heard it might come out very soon. Any
help would be great.
THANKS!

You need to unzip the file to include the it's internal directory
structure.  Try adding the -d switch at the command line.

When you unzip it, you need to do so by allowing it to unzip the files
into the original directories (unzip -d)
