STILL can't see NASCAR Revolution!

Thanks to those who pointed me to the other sites...where I was supposed to be able to check out the demo of NASCAR Revolution. I finally got it to come across with no problem...well, one problem! I unziped it with the -d option to have all the directories created. Half way through the installation, it errored! AM I NOT MEANT TO SEE THIS DEMO?! Is there another hint to unzip this program? (I tried EA.COM one more time, so I could get the .EXE version...now all I get from their site is errors the the server is returning extended information) I JUST WANT TO SEE THE PROGRAM...THAT'S ALL. -pout

Maybe it's God's way of telling you it might not be a good idea to play this demo! (for whatever reason). LOL try www.avault.com if you really want to play this game. Philster

We had the same problem--I think the demo has long filenames, which pkunzip won't do. If you use WinZip or another Win95 unzipper you should be okay.

>We had the same problem--I think the demo has >long filenames, which pkunzip won't do. If you >use WinZip or another Win95 unzipper you should >be okay. I recently had an experience which was the opposite of this, just as point of interest for anyone reading this thread. I couldn't get WinZip to unzip a file, it said there were errors, please use zipfix, etc. I did that and it still wouldn't open the file. Finally, I decided to unzip it on a command line using a real live copy of PKunzip to see what it might report/do. It unzipped fine! With Winzip, you have the option of using an internal unzipper or directing it to a copy of Pkzip (like pkz204g.exe) for zip operations. Apparently WinZip's internal zip chokes on some iteration or command line switch from the real Pkzip.
