Well I have a BIG problem with hippies extractor. I've asked SV what he thinks and he's stumped! So what do you guys think?

Here is the problem:

<this is slowly driving me insain>....murrmer.....mumble....

I have a directory in C: called WORK, in which is placed the extractor and a Mosq.Sm. When I try and extract the Sm is says this:

(The mosq .SM is enabled for both Read and Write)

C:\WINDOWS>C:\work\extractor Mosq testing123
cant open file: albatrosdva.sm

C:\WINDOWS>

Why can't it open the Sm!!!!1 HELP HELP HELP

<rips hair out and calls for men in white coats>

If I can finally get this to work then I can start work on making a Mossie pathfinder and the Ju52 with spanky.

Thanx

Blob

MrBlob. Go to the albatrosdva.sm file. Right click on it. Go to Properties. Remove the checkmark that's in the Read Only box. Leave the Archive checkmark there.
That should do it I believe. The file should now be ready to open.

First. Sorry about that it should say "Albatross Testing123". I cahnged it to Mosq in this type as that was the fitrst file I used.

I tried the Archive ticked and not ticked. I tried Read ticked and not ticked still no avail!

I went and tried opening the AlbatrosDVa.sm file.

Right-clicked on file.
Went to Properties.
Unchecked Read Only.
Click on Apply.

That did it. I went to extractor and I'm looking at all of the lods in SV's beautiful Albatros.

I'm puzzled if that doesn't work.

Whew, MrBlob, I almost wet my pants when I read that you were getting a completely different file name as an error message!

Just remember, you must either be in the same directory where you are openning the plane or you must specify the path to the target file and to the output file (unless you want to expand everything in the current directory).

Well it now works!!!!

I had to type this to get it working:

C:\Work\Extractor C:\Work\mosq C:\Work\Mossie

I had to type the director to get it to extract..

THanx to all who offered advice!!!

Now to get all these bloody lods into the main body so that I can do something with it!
