I have tried three times now to download the latest 40k files from the
eGroups site. The file is listed as an .ab file, but when it downloads
to my machine it comes up as an .exe file. This file will not run (I
thought maybe it was self-extracting) nor will Armybuilder see it to
make the changes. My questions are thus:

1) What is my machine doing wrong and what can I do about it?
2) What am I doing wrong?
3) Is the file wrong?
4) Why did I not have this problem when the files were zipped?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Sean C. Frolich

Something seems to have imbeciled it up quite badly.

To download the file, right-click on it and choose "save target as".
Then make sure the filename it specifies is "something.ab" as opposed to
"something.exe". Has that worked?

The files should be correct. The ".ab" file extension must not be properly
registered with Windows on your system for this to occur. Most likely, this
means that you have not upgraded to V2.0 yet, since V2.0 properly performs
this for you during the installation. Once you upgrade to V2.0 (which
you'll need for the 40K files), the ".ab" file extension will be recognized
and properly retained. Otherwise, IE and possibly other browsers will
change the name automatically, whether or not you ask it to do so. The
".zip" file extension is already properly recognized, so that's why ".zip"
files don't have any problems.

Hope this helps,
Rob

help!

I'm sorry, but this post doesn't provide me with enough information to have
any idea what you are having problems with. Please include the following
information:

1. What are you trying to accomplish? Do *NOT* assume that we have ANY idea
about how something should work. You need to explain it so we can
understand it.

2. What are you actually doing? Outline the salient facets of the units,
options, and anything else that might be involved in this problem.

3. What behavior are you seeing? Identify what you think SHOULD be
happening and what actually IS happening.

With the above three pieces of information, there are numerous people on
this list that can offer useful ideas and suggestions. But you have to
provide us with enough information to be able to do so. :-)

Thanks, Rob

Could you be more specific about what you're trying to do?
