Now that I've been taking submissions for the T2 file area, I've noticed a little problem. If an accessory file (such as a .CMD) is compressed and I double-click on the ZIP and then the embedded file to automatically load it, the program gives the error: "Error Loading Library".
This does NOT happen on the main TheaterTouch application, nor does it happen on any other programs I have. It seems the problem is due to the auto-zip extractor tagging the file with read-only (+R). These T2 library programs always seem to open their files in a write-ready state, and choke if they can't. Is there any way to add a "just looking" mode to those utilities?

You mean launch the library manager by double-clicking the file from the WinZIP window? I don't have any problem doing that.

No, this is through a combination of Windows 98 Plus Pack's built-in ZIP support and double-clicking on a ZIP file in Outlook. It saves the file in a temporary directory -- c:\temp\td_0001.dir\ -- and sets the file to +R because as soon as you close the program using the file it is deleted (so it makes no sense to save it). It's the setting of +R that's throwing out the library programs -- they start up in write mode, and choke if they can't get that. TheaterTouch Designer does not have this problem.
