3.3 I'm having problems unzipping downloaded panels.

From FlightSim

Q:

ON SOME PANEL FILES POSTED I CAN'T UNZIP THE .GAU FILES. THE MESSAGE "CAN'T CREATE" WHICH I GET, WOULD SEE, TO SAY THAT I AM UNABLE TO CREATE OR READ INTO THE DIRECTORY SPECIFIED WHEN I ATTEMPT TO UNZIP. WOULD SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT MY COMMAND SHOULD BE? OR SOME VERY SPECIFIC ADVICE ON HOW TO UNZIP PANEL FILES?

A:

You evidently are using a 16-bit unzip program left over from DOS. Download and use a 32-bit program, such as Winzip95 from here on this site. The problem is the long file names that are inherent in the FS98 gauge files.
