I was FTPing hints and stuff from ftp.uwp.edu (romulus directory) and came across some files with a .unp extention. I've never heard of any MSDOS archive system that uses this suffix, so I assume it's UNIX, or some such. I tried UNCOMPRESS and UNPACK to no avail. Help, anyone? Prospective thank-yous... KAL

The .unp extension just denotes that the file is an unprotect. It's just a text file.

These files are text files describing how to remove the copy protection from a game. They are intended for personal use only, not so that you can go around nicking everyone else's software. Eg: I took the protection off my copy of Ultima V with the instructions from one of those files, but I don't use it to go giving said game away to friends. When used for personal use *only*, they are not illegal, as far as I can tell. : Prospective thank-yous... : KAL -Dom (treefrrrog extraordinaire) -- ___ > "I think I'm in love with a retard!" <*,*> > "Is he bigger than me?"
