    Hi.
    I downloaded a file with a TGZ extention.
    I opened it with WinZip and get one file.
    I open the file and about half way down I get some weird looking code.
    Now, I'm not a programmer so maybe it's just something I don't recognize.

    Or, did the file get corrupted or something by using Winzip?

    Thank you.

    Try downloading the file again. If you still get that problem, try another decompresser ( I like www.7-zip.org )

    Hi Exam.

    I downloaded that decompresser you linked to.

    I got the same thing with the new file it created.

    Maybe, it's because I then open the file in Notepad?
    The file has no extention so I used notepad. I think it's supposed to php but I'm not sure.

    The file I'm trying to use is at:

    Can you post a snippet of the other code that's not the wild characters you posted before to see if it's supposed to be a source code file?
