About UNLZEXE
How exactly do I UNLZEXE any Keen game EXE file, when I'm using Windows 7? I can't just run the program, and I suck at using DOSBox (always using DOSShell).

In DOSBox:
Should do the trick.
It would be nice if there was a way to it natively, but we are dealing with obsolete software here.
Code: Select all
Z:\>mount c "C:\the directory\the game is in"
Z:\>c:
C:\>unlzexe keen1.exe

Nope, I did try that before, but like you said W7 doesn't run UNLZEXE at all >_>levellass wrote:1.) Click KEEN1.EXE
2.) Drag and drop it on UNLZEXE
3.) If successful you'll see KEEN1.OLD in your folder.
Works with Vista, so should be ok, unless Windows 7 is even more DOS hostile. (Like it doesn't run UNLZEXE at ALL.)
That is the problem I see here...
Sorry, if I have to talk about this, but I created a newer version of UNLZEXE. It's a bit faster and runs on any operating system, regardless if 64 or 32-bit. I wrote about it some months ago, but nobody was interested.
It's the version 0.81 and it can handle Keen1-6 as other games. both signatures (90 and 91) are supported. If you interested I can send you a copy and you don't have to mess around with dosbox. If someone else want to have it, I can also distribute it. The lack of intereset has been holding me back in uploading it.

Well, viewtopic.php?t=1310 for the mention of it. It was in the Keen: Coding section of this forum. I love to see this stuff progress, so this is cool with me.
Sorry guys, but you hurt my feelings. So I am ... , you know what, and not going to release it..... :-(
Just kidding! Here it is: :-D
http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonekeenplus/files/
Here is the file tree of the Commander Genius Project. Just open "Tools->unlzexe" and pick it for your system. Have fun!
Also check out the readme file before you use it. Don't worry, it's very easy.
