Hoi Chummers:

I have an important question for you all. I have downloaded the file
SREquip.ps.z and SRSheets.ps.z and I wonder how do I acess them?? I can't
seem to figure out what decompresion system to use, and once I have them
decomped, how do I access them for use. I have the data-steal, now I need
the help of a whiz decker to help me acces the chips. Thanks for your help
gang.

Stay Frosty,

On a school machine, just type "uncompress " and then the filename. So
for the Equipment Guide (I just downloaded it last night...IT'S
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!) type uncompress SREquip.ps.Z. Usually the "z" at the
end of the compressed filename is capitalized. I don't know if any PC
decompression programs will work, but I suspect they won't.
