Eh Adamg. Dosraider is more than Twice your age.
So if he didn't figured out how to open a compressed file by now, he will never learn.

Dosraider was actually Playing the n00bs with his [*irritant voice is here again*] remark.

OK there is no dedicated bandwidth, So ISO Art has to use external hosts for it's ISO's.
As a matter of fact 90+% of the Cellar ISO Links are on ISO Art and Vice Versa.
So it's basically the same place. :cool:

The ISO cellar is great at what it does but isn't what I had in mind. Where are the reviews, discussion forums, extras etc? There is nothing in the ISO cellar to create interest in the games. It certainly could turn into something greater if Abandonia brought the downloads in-house and treated the games like the ones they currently host.

As I already stated, I use 7Zip.
But if you think it's so simple that a 'readme' solves all problems and will avoid those ever repeating same questions, tell me why the help forum here (and everywhere)is filled with questions about dosbox ........

And I'm not very eager to go in an endless discussion about -yet again- compr ratios. Are you a crew member of 7Zip by any chance?
Anyway, you win, congrats, you just won the special olympics.

BTW, on a side note: My first bought PC was on CP/M, it wasn't my first, but the first I bought, so your 'grew up on Dos', doesn't really impress me.

And now I'm out of this topic, it's useless and really boring.
KTHXBAI.

Yay me is on double post spree ...

Please advise - my sister has been stuck on this game for ages because of the error 51 which the forum says is a bug in the game, so I downloaded from the above link because a member later said this one works.

Please advise re how to run lesman.7z under DOSBox.

Many thanks Wendy

And you hardly can pretend that Wendy is an absolute dosbox beginner.....

I rest my case.

I'm surprised you linked a warez site, but since it was in french you may just have overlooked it. My first language is french though, and it's quite visible from first glance...

Actually, the "non-abandonware" secition doesn't have games actually available to download. It lists them as may have some extras (like boxart or music) but as far as I can tell, you can't actually get the games themselves...

I just tryied it and you're right. When you click on download, the link take you to the exact same page with the download link removed.

That's a pretty poor desing choice for a web site...
