My opponent is opening the file (sans the .zip extension) with Vassal, but Vassal doesn't seem to be interpreting it as a valid zip archive. Every file I get from him, created by him putting in filename 'X' as a logfile, comes to me as 'X.zip', even though he is not doing any zipping of files. Regards, Jeff George

That's *really* odd - I've never received a logfile with a '.zip' extension (typically either no extension or '.log') and they always work fine. Do you know if your opponent is: - saving the file, then explicitly opening it from Vassal? - trying to unzip it? - double-clicking it from a mail program? Regards, Tim.
