That makes sense because regardless of what my opponent calls his logfile it always comes to be as a zip with a single file called savedGame inside. However, when I log to a file and then finish logging, getting a message that logfile 'X' was written, I do not have a version of my file with a zip extension. If i manually add a .zip extension, using Windows Explorer, then all of a sudden the archive contains the savedGame file. So, at this point I have 2 questions: 1) How do I make the logging/saving automatically create the zip archive? 2) Which file am I supposed to send to my opponent, the logfile when written, or a post-log save? I'm sure that this message will appear 500 times as Yahoo seems to have gone ballistic. Regards, Jeff George

This is just for compression to save bandwidth on the email attachments. You shouldn't ever have to un-zip the file. It's possible that an email client could recognize it as a ZIP archive and try to unpack it despite the fact that it doesn't have a .zip filename extension. The unpacked file can be read by VASSAL too, so that's not the problem. It could be simply that you're forgetting to start your logfile and are just sending him a saved game instead of a logfile. Version 3.0 is adding reminders to create a logfile just for this situation. rk [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
