GPL Problem...help please

Ok, here is the dish. I downloaded all 40 GPL zips from a Warez site....but what do I do with them? Do I need the demo installed on it? Some instructions would be greatly appreciated... I spent two days downloading it and I want to play...so please help... Ryan Patrick Murray RPM

Em guys - you can't go into a courtroom and say "I know this *** is illegal, but I'm gonna buy it as soom as it gets legalised so it's okay". You'll be jailed. Do you think software piracy is any different? Admitting, in public, to having illegal software is not real smart, and even if you're going to buy it later that doesn't make it legal now. No morals on the subject, just a little advice. Cheers! John

Some instructions would >be greatly appreciated... 99.9999% of us won't help you just because it's illegal. You really know what I-L-L-E-G-A-L means ?? It's probably the lowest thing you can do in your life (I know... I had some legal problems back 2years ago). Wait a couple more and you will really be hyped with the full product. - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ on the NROS - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--

Hmm.. let's see. First you drag them to the recycling bin and then you wait until your friendly neighborhood software store gets their copies of the finished GPL at which point you purchase one. Sounds easy enough to me. =) - Eric

You download them. Then the first zip has instructions in the trps98.nfo file. It is illegal, and its no way to show your appreciation for the hardwork the guys at papyrus and sierra have put into the game. Also why do you want to play something that isnt finished? Its not long to wait now, if you've waited almost a year, im sure you can wait a few weeks. Greets, Me

I'm not sure this is right, so don't blame me if it doesn't produce the intended results. Hit Start->Programs->MS-DOS prompt. Either a window will pop up, or your screen will go black, and it will have something like C:\> at the bottom. At this prompt, type "format c:" (without the quotes), and press return. It'll probably give you some dire warnings about this doing something irreversible to your system. This is ok. You'll see it count up as it works. When it's done, it'll ask you for a volume label. Enter "I'm a thief" (without the quotes) and press return. Presto! That should take care of things nicely! Randy

If you don't approve of d/l'ing the warez, how do you know what's in the zip file, Francois? ...just wondering... Ed

You know guys, while I break some laws myself (but you can't prove it), I don't really understand how everyone is always so 'holier than thou' when it comes to playing illegal warez. Perhaps all of you are perfect and have never broken a law?!? In my job I develop software, and you just have to accept that there will be some piracy, but everyone in this group really lays on the moralizing whenever anyone mentions anything about it. Maybe I'm wrong and everyone here always does "The Right Thing", but somehow I doubt it. Flame away, Clark (ace29 or TEN)

Actually, I'd feel like an idiot not buying the finished version. I would have no manual, but most of all I would be doing nothing to support my hobby. Rule - if you put nothing in, you'll get nothing out, eventually at least. This is one well I certainly don't want drying up ie sim racing in general and Papy in particular.
