Getting Downloads on my PPC?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Unzip them on the PC. If they are DAT files, they need to be copied to the
ppc and then selected to install. Otherwise install using the EXE in the
expanded file.

In addition you can get zip programs for your ppc if you need one. I use
Resco File Explorer which has an internal zip function - if you have that
too.

Hey TC,

Not sure what you mean by expanded file?
Do I drag the files to my storage card? Then open them?
When I download a zip file, it then asks to open in WinZip. Then when I open
the file it looks like to contents are not correct. There is another Zip
file in some cases and it looks like it needs to be opened again.
Hope this makes sense.

I am a newbie to all of this and your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

jack
