How can I repair an apparently damaged zipped file, so that I can successfully unzip it?

[Chris Lanier]

You can try doing this in WinZip. Windows XP cannot do
this for you, and most of the time WinZip doesnt either,
but give it a try. You can also tell WinZip to keep
broken files i beleive.

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

I did try to unzip it using WinZip, since that was the program I used to zip
it in the first place.

On another matter, I note that you put the segment NOSPAM in your email
address. I take it that you have done so to prevent spam. If someone wants
to contact you, does he/she have to take out the NOSPAM in your email
address to do so (I've tried doing so--I just want to be sure that I've done
the right thing)?

yes, if it put something like NOSPAM or REMOVE in your
address it will cut down on the amount of spam you
get. "Spam Bots" can seach the newsgroups looking a valid
e-mail address. Since your address with NOSPAM in it is
not valid you cant get the spam.
