Zoohio, I have Winrar not Winzip. Will this effect anything because I don't want to ruin this for you. :erm

I am not familiar with this Boblus. I will have to find out for you.

boblus----Winrar only opens file with the .rar extension if I'm not mistaken. Winzip opens files with the .zip extension. I don't believe winrar will open and retrieve winzip files. You could try. Make a back up copy first, then try it. If I'm wrong about this, please let me know.

I'm looking forward to getting the quilt! Hopefully all the exhibits will make loads of donations :happy

But usually when I get things and try it then all similar files turn into a Winrar file. I don't want to risk losing it. :8

what email service would you be using to send it? some services, like aol automatically zip files that are sent....

also, WindowsXP comes with it's own program that zips files as well, if I'm not mistaken.

If it's ok with zoohio, you could do as BluekittySC said and make a backup copy of the zoo (either by saving it as normal, and then resaving as a slightlydifferent name (example: quiltzoo vs quiltzoo2) or by finding the actual file on your computer, right clicking on it, click copy, then paste in the same folder and rename it something different). Then send the backup copy to me using Winrar...I have both winrar and winzip and can rezip it, then I can send it to whomever was after you.

That sounds like a good idea!

Well here I go! Here's the overview of the rhino exhbit!

Tyto alba · « **Reply #84 on:** September 07, 2005, 07:43:15 PM »

Happy guests watching the rhinos

Tyto alba · « **Reply #85 on:** September 07, 2005, 07:46:35 PM »

and here's a view from atop the falls...

Donations = 14,714
50% of Admissions Sales = 2,134
Total = 16,848

OK, who gets it next, RND or is bluekittySC feeling better?

i open all my winzip files with winrar but i dont think that winzip can open winrar files (but again not certain i will have to check it out and edit this if i find they can)

ok checked it out and no you cant open winrar with winzip but can open winzip with winrar.

Excellent job Tyto! The waterfall is nice and the photo of the Rhino is perfect.
And look at the donations! :w00t
I have edited the Contributions on the first page of the topic.

Rednotdead is next on the list for the map!

A few have ask if there could be a map for ZT1 for Hurricane Relief! I think it is a great idea, though I am unable to handle that as well.

Blue Heron · « **Reply #88 on:** September 08, 2005, 05:48:34 PM »

Great exhibits Tyto. Great job.

Tyto alba · « **Reply #89 on:** September 08, 2005, 05:57:40 PM »

Thanks!
I guess that means, RND you have a pm, (or you will in a sec :lol )

zoohio · « **Reply #90 on:** September 09, 2005, 04:54:15 AM »

An update: The Map should be heading to Rednotdead and then to Pepe_starr.
The donation boxes are doing very well and soon, the map will generate enough funds to help others in the future.
Great job everyone!

boblus · « **Reply #91 on:** September 09, 2005, 08:47:36 AM »

I feel as though I shouldn't do it. Is that ok?
:erm

zoohio · « **Reply #92 on:** September 09, 2005, 08:49:26 AM »

No problem Boblus!
I completely understand.
The Red Panda is available again folks.

I'mnot sure what the program name itself is, it's just integrated into XP. I don't use it myself because i have winzip, but you should be able to zip any file by:

right-click on file
choose Send To
Choose Compressed (zip) folder
and it should go from there.

and it does zip it into an actual .zip file so it's compatible with winzip

zoohio · « **Reply #95 on:** September 09, 2005, 01:56:04 PM »

Someone please correct me if I am wrong:
XP uses winzip or pkzip. It depends on the the pc and manufacturer. Again, please correct me if I am wrong!

I think some PC's might come with Winzip, but what windows uses is integrated into it's system, not a seperate program. When I got my new computer, it had XP and didn't have winzip or pkzip on it, but I could still unzip and zip files using the method I described above. I had to put my old version of winzip on the new computer myself, manually.

So as far as I know, XP doesn't actually use those programs, but rather utilizes the same technology integrated.

EDIT: This might make it a bit more clear...for example, I techincally have two zipping programys, Winzip and the XP integrated "zipper"...make sense?
