Subject:Problem with windows version of free poplog 
From:Aaron Sloman 
Volume-ID:990722.03 

I had a query from Martin Eales <mjeales@leibniz.demon.co.uk>

He wrote
| I have tried installing the Windows version of Poplog with
| notable lack of success. This is on a standard Windows 98
| system having unpacked the distribution file using Winzip.
|
| The installation starts OK and processes DISK1 normally. After

| file on the specified path or disk".

| 1370 Kb).

I don't normally use PCs, and I know nothing about PC installation
procedures.

I tried installing the PC version of Poplog by first using gunzip and
tar to extract the files, on a unix machine, then on a PC ran the
setup.exe in DISK1, which worked.

I later uninstalled it and tried again with winzip and it didn't work,
with the same symptom as above. But I assumed I had done something
wrong, and gave up.

Maybe winzip has bugs? I know nothing about it.

Since I cannot offer any help will anyone with PC experience who has
ideas about this please post comp.lang.pop for the benefit of others.

Thanks.
Aaron
