I would like to download CoupuServe weather maps. I understand that this forum
contains the necessary decompression programs to do that. I have donwloaded
various files, "successfully," according to the prompts, but when I try to open
the files, I get an error message 121 "file is not an object module." Just
exactly what am I supposed to DO in order to run these files? Any light that
could be shed on all this would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
I am assuming you are downloading *.GIF maps. These are not executable
files or compressed, they are picture files. To view them, you need a
viewer program that will read GIF picture format. I use ViewTek; it is
available in the AmigaArts forum Library 14 (434457 bytes). Also, if you
have Workbench 3.0 or higher, MultiView will view GIF's if you download the
datatype. It should be in the same forum/library and I believe it is called
GIFDT.LHA ar something like that. Hope this helps.
