Re: Has anyone taken delivery of GPL Converter yet?

Delivery delays for the GPL converter

Buyers of Dave Noonan's GPL converter compared delivery times. Some received the 2.2MB zip by email within hours, while others waited over a day or got corrupt files. A notice from the seller said alternative distribution was being arranged for those with problems, and Alison Hine's site was recommended for ICR2 version details.

I ordered it about 8 am PDT and received it within 4 hours. IT ROCKS!! Indy and Milwaukee are a blast! I've been to 4 software shops today looking for Rendition Ready CART, no luck so far, I guess it's ICRII for now. -- don "Getting hit by a meteorite is an accident... everything else is driver-error."

>I ordered 24 hours ago and have had two receipts by e-mail but >have seen no sign of the item. Has anyone else received theirs >yet? I got mine in about 6 hours. But something was wrong with the zip-file. I already sent the question to David Noonan, but perhaps someone here can help: I tried to open the file in Windows and Linux. The results: WinZip 7.0 says: "Cannot open the file: It does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downlading the file again." unzip of Linux says: "Archive: I2N2GPL.ZIP End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. note: I2N2GPL.ZIP may be a plain executable, not an archive unzip: can't find zipfile directory in one of I2N2GPL.ZIP or I2N2GPL.ZIP.zip, and can't find I2N2GPL.ZIP.ZIP, period."

I have the original 1996 ICR2 CD, and I seem to remember it being rendition capable.

Either it is a corrupt zip file or a incomplete zip file. You need to have him resend it to you. Arto Wikla <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:wikla.953898296@rullouri...

OUCH! That size e-mail attachment can cause *some* customers a bit of grief as their ISPs have limitations on the size of e-mails. I know that the company I was with two years ago had an attachment limit of 1Mb. This was introduced because we had some public servant dorks trying to send through 15 Mb docuemnts as e-mail attachments!! God...did *that* cause the old mail server to grind to a halt! :-) -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Dave K <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Yep,ordered it 7:45 AM PDT,arrived in my e-mail at 10:20 AM.It's a 2.23 meg zip > file.You're gonna love it,but waitin' is a bitch huh?:^) > > don hodgdon wrote: > > > I ordered it about 8 am PDT and received it within 4 hours. > > > > IT ROCKS!! > > > > Indy and Milwaukee are a blast!

I recieved this email through the VROC mail list, apparently some of you guys haven't seen it so here's a copy. ubject: Where's my Converter Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 23:24:01 -0000 From: "GPLConverter" <[email hidden]> To: <[email hidden]> Hello Everybody If you have not had the converter please reply to this message. I am very concerned that a number of you may not yet have received the converter. This is why I am writing to all of you including those who I am sure have already received it. The biggest problems have been caused by the fact that a number of providers have a maximum limit on the size of messages and the total size of messages in a mailbox. To be honest this has caused havoc with all the systems I have setup. I will send the converter to everybody who replies to this message at 12.00 GMT. To allow for time zones anybody replying after 12.00 will be sent the converter at 18.00 GMT. Why the wait?, I want to give you time to clear mailboxes or give me a different e-mail address that will allow the posts to come through. If you are just plain angry with the whole process please cancel the order. Regards Dave Noonan
