I'm trying to find winpvtut.exe, an old tutorial, very basic
but nicely done.
I've found it in a couple of places but only gz zipped and
they won't open.
It's huge, BTW, about 4.5 megs.

Thanks,
Peter

The link I have for it is -
http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/EXPERT/mirror/povray/povray/Tutorials

It too is available in 5 parts or as a single download but you are still
stuck with the gz zipping. I don't think I have seen it offered any other
way.

Do you have winzip? I believe that's supposed to open gzip files.
http://www.winzip.com/

Cheers, PoD.

Thank you Sir Links Alot. Tried it. Same problem.
I know I opened it in the past, perhaps four years ago.

Thanks for responding PoD. Yes I have winzip.


I occasionally have problems with gzip files. (Win98)
A quick search found 40 on this hard drive all which open fine.

I have downloaded it with both Internet Explorer 4.72
and Netscape Communicator 4.6.

Winzip (7.0)  just brings up an add dialog box.
I do not think it is corrupted as the same thing
happened with a file from another site.

I have been to sites where authors have
provided both gz and zip files because
of known problems with Windows.

It is not a pressing concern but it is a problem which
occasionally arises.

Ultimately it is my fault as I broke one of
my cardinal rules. Never Delete Anything.

Thanks for listening,
Peter
