Those idiots!I got if off of some place on google.

Looks like a zip file. Do you have WinZip installed? Are you trying to open with Netscape (you shouldn''t).

what language is it supposedly for (some save source code in non-ascii formats i think)? what was the file extension of the file you downloaded?

/me thinks the AP is correct, i recognise the "PK" signature, plus you can see an "ARENA.dsp" in there.

thus, you shall have to d/load winzip to view and extract the files you want.

Does winzip run on Mac?

Dude.. You should of goten a DELL.

DELL. hmmph. stay away from name brand companies. stay, far, far away.... build your own, you will save yourself a lot of headaches.

well, guessing by the name WinZip that it only runs on windows. but no doubt theres a mac alternative some place.
