Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    They have them packaged in a zip file. Go to winzip.com and get a download.

    I think the lads on the Windows forum might know a bit better on which programs to use?

    Just install winzip (tho I'd use winrar personally).
    Windows should have winzip already installed. Zip files are a way of compressing a number of files into smaller space to save disk space and bandwidth. They need to be uncompressed to be edited or viewed.
    Right click on the file and select extract files. Follow the wizard and the files stored in the zip file will be extracted to where you specify.

    After unzipping the files you'll need more software to be able to read them - see links under Technical Assistance here .... http://www.heritagedata.ie/en/Links/

    You might also need DBFManager http://www.dbfmanager.com/

    From heritagedata.ie website
    "It should be noted that the database tables require the user to have a database system of their own to access the data. In addition, the map information contained in the ArcInfo .e00 Export files require Geographical Information System software to operate and, of course, the necessary expertise in using such a system. If you don't have a RDBMS or a GIS then this data is not accessible to you. (Our links page provides information on software that converts ArcInfo export files to other formats and our News section provides further details)."
