Re: [NTLK] StandAlone Software Downloads Bad for Windows?

Well, well, well.

I dug out strip.exe (which I had downloaded I don't know how many years ago
and never needed) and ran it against the .pkg files I had extracted. They
all converted and were accepted by NCU and I am now trying them out on the
MP. If anyone else takes the time to singly download the .zip files from
StandAlone, extract them, and get them all in the same directory, here is
the .cmd script I made to get them all done:

strip "A&D v2_71.pkg"
strip "A&DSounds.pkg"
strip "Backgammon II.pkg"
strip "Calendar Folders 1_22.pkg"
strip "Clipper.pkg"
strip "freezeun.pkg"
strip "Frogs vs. Cars.pkg"
strip "frzman 1_01.pkg"
strip "GhostHunter v1_0.pkg"
strip "heapsaver 1_07.pkg"
strip "hwrworkn.pkg"
strip "Jumble.pkg"
strip "Missile.pkg"
strip "More Folders 4_1b2.pkg"
strip "noteman.pkg"
strip "PentaDice.pkg"
strip "PeriodicTable v3_0.pkg"
strip "Protektor.pkg"
strip "Route To Works.pkg"
strip "SclMn3_5.pkg"
strip "Solitaire.pkg"
strip "Sound Switch v1_0.pkg"
strip "SpellMan v1_07.pkg"
strip "StatConKit.pkg"
strip "SuperNames1_34.pkg"
strip "SuperNotePad1_87.pkg"
strip "TimeMan Button.pkg"
strip "TimeMan v1_11b2.pkg"
strip "travelclock.pkg"
strip "UsenetPaperBoy.pkg"
strip "What Error Pro v1_0.pkg"
strip "Works Merge.pkg"
strip "WorksBetter1_28.pkg

If StandAlone cared (or did not care), maybe the stripped files could be put
on UNNA?

Just to make this issue even more SEO friendly for future posterity, here
are some keywords:

apple newton messagepad emate pkg package standalone stand alone strip
convert download pc windows

In my case, I don't think it's about using strip or anything else. I have
downloaded lots of packages in .zip files from lots of places on multiple
Windoze boxen and have not ever had a problem except with the stuff I got
from the StandAlone site. I'll try a couple of tools to see what's doin',
but it's a little strange I never had a problem anywhere until now....
