Frotz download is so broken
Title. Whenever I try to download Frotz 2.32 using the link provided from your Programs Section. I download it without a problem but, as soon as I try to open it, WinRAR and WinZip start yelling something about bad EOF.
It would be nice to solve that problem. Besides, there is a newer version stored at IF Archive (version 2.40), in case you want to use it as the new download. |

Hmm... I tested FROTZ232.ZIP archive with File Roller under Ubuntu and with 7-Zip under Windows, and it is okay here. But yeah, I agree that if a newer version is available it would be a good idea to provide it as a new download.

Which archive from that link is the correct one? I don't see any Frotz 2.40 there.

But, when opening it with Ubuntu's Archive Manager, it works flawlessly... I don't know. Quote:

I can open and extract the old one with WinRAR for Windows x64 and PKZip for DOS. I'd try re-installing/updating WinRAR.
I've seen "unsupported operation" or similar messages from 7zip before when trying to drag-and-drop. It's not because of the archive, it's always fine if I use another extractor, I'm not sure but I suspect 7zip has a lot of "non-essential" features not implemented yet. It's a very powerful program regarding the compression ratios of the 7zip format and the other formats it supports, but feature-wise it's pretty poor.

works in winzip, winrar, 7zip and even default zip archiver on my old xp
your download must be corrupted, filesize is 43 448 bytes, md5 is 3d76d43f38e468a189cdec063f5506e2
