141.0. "DOOMED21.ZIP won't UNZIP" by CSC32::T_HUTCHIN () Tue Nov 01 1994 14:55

    
    	Does anyone know if DOOMED21 has another net location other than
    	FLYTE?.  I've copied it off twice and both times PKUNZIP (204G)
    	has complained that it's a corrupted file.
    
    	Thanks,
    	Terry

    I'm working on this (updating FLYTE with the latest from .indiana!)
    
    While I'm doing this it should hopefully cure your problem at the same
    time. You could try the file DE_260B4.ZIP this is DoomEd for Windows
    v2.6 beta 4. It's the same thing (more or less).
141.2Am I out os sync here ?VESSA::MICHAELSONJDedicated BUGgerTue Nov 08 1994 04:009
Hi,

Does anyone know the status of DoomEd "The Real Thing" version 3.1b (or is that
what Dan is on about?)? Does it provide support for Doom ][ ? I am able to create
maps for Doom ][ with v2.60b, the new textures are there, but the features 
(monsters and d-barrelled etc) aren't, and I am having to use a program to patch the
level value !!

141.3Can't UNZIP DE_260B4 either!CSC32::T_HUTCHINTue Nov 15 1994 11:2519
    
    	RE: .1
    
    	Thanks for the pointer to DE_260B4.  Unfortunately, this one isn't
    	working either:
    
    		"file fails CRC check"
    		"file has bad table"
    
    	I'm using the same 204G PKUNZIP on other ZIP files I've pulled off
    	the net so I don't THINK it's the unzipper.  Copied this file off
    	twice then did a VMS DIFF on it in case the copy was corrupted.
    	VMS says it's a variable-sequential file.
    
    	This is getting real weird.  Any ideas?
    
    	Thanks,
    	Terry

    Cripes! When I've got some spare time (and can get onto ftp.orst.edu)
    I'll download the whole of the EDITORS section and replace in onto
    flyte....
    
    DOOMED21, BTW, is no longer on .orst I think it's been 'discontinued'
    ;-)

141.5Thanks DanCSC32::T_HUTCHINTue Nov 15 1994 13:178
    
    	Thanks Dan; I appreciate the effort.
    
    	When I see some of the work being done by people using these editors 
    	it makes me itch to get my hands on one.

141.6Use Bilf?HOTLNE::DOYLETue Nov 15 1994 16:057
     Some of them need to be "bilfed" before you unpackem.
     I was successful unziping the editor you named ("DE_260B4.ZIP")
     after doing this.

141.7What is "bilfed"?CSC32::T_HUTCHINTue Nov 15 1994 16:297
    
    	Ed,
    
    	OK, I'll bite: what is "bilfed"?
    
    	Terry
141.8Bilf.exeHOTLNE::DOYLETue Nov 15 1994 18:266
     Bilf.exe,CVTARC.exe and a few others are programs for taking 
    variable-length record formats and changing them to stream-LF format.
     Usually used when a file is copied from a unix enviroment to VMS.

141.9FORTY2::HOWELLJust get to the point...Wed Nov 16 1994 04:253
    Aaah. Okay, where can I get bilf.exe / CVTARC.EXE from ?!?!?

141.10CVARC workedCSC32::T_HUTCHINWed Nov 16 1994 12:0612
    
    
    	Ed,
    
    	Bingo.
    
    	It's been so many years since I've needed CVARC that I forgot
    	all about it.
    
    	Thanks,
    	Terry
141.11FORTY2::HOWELLJust get to the point...Tue Nov 22 1994 09:067
    Well I got hold of a convertor and I'm currently converting every .ZIP
    on FLYTE to 512-fixed length, so if you want to re-try any files they
    should work soon.
    
    Cheers,
    
    Dan
