Winplan Overflow Error

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.vga-planets (More info?)

Ok, I did the Google search and found some reference to this problem but no
one ever said if there was a way to fix it. Is there a way to fix the
WINPLAN overflow problem when unpacking an RST, and what causes it?

Thanks in advance

Ed

You could unpack with a third-party unpack and see if that one manages
to do it (or whether it at least gives you a sensible error message).

If that doesn't help, it might be a file in the VPWORK directory. Clear
the VPWORK slot and re-unpack. If that still doesn't help, your Winplan
is broken, so there's probably no way around other than unpacking.

However, I've still seen a number of RSTs which PCC unpacks and Winplan
doesn't (or, the other way around: which I see both unpackers fail on,
but I cannot fix Winplan's).
