of their files, but I have no idea how to read these files. A freind of
tried to use PKUNZIP and that idn't work either. Is there something
I'm doing wron? Is there a secret? I was told by Papyrus that there are
some setups there that I could retrieve? Does anyone know about
this BBS that could help?? Thanks for any help!

Make sure you are using the correct version of PKUNZIP. They do have it
there online if you need it (although you'd be better off getting it
through the net). The setups *might* help you, then again, they might
not. I tried to use a few, but found them unworkable for me. The trick
is to first learn how to drive the car, then tune it in. There is a file
(I can't remember what it is called offhand) that is helpfull in tuning
the car. I think it was NCCAR.zip. It's a zipped *.wri file that is
rather helpful for the beginner. Then you can try getting the Circle
Track Annual edition '95. IF you can find it. While it is aimed at real
car drivers many of it's tips are equally valid for the sim. The really
Great thing about Papyrus is that is is very racer friendly (as long as
you don't go out of the way to make an ass out of yourself). A lot of
great (and not so great) racers gather there.

I could probably help you if you told me what the extension was on the
files you downloaded. Pkzip/unzip only works for a .zipped
file(usually a *.zip extension). Many of the files on that bbs are not
zipped.
