There is actually a much easier fix, simple change the file extension from .7z to .zip and the map shifter will work perfectly.

The one issue with having zip files is the SMS Map Shifter program is looking for 7z files, so I had to unzip and then compress in 7z. I really appreciate the Map Shifter program. Thanks for hosting this site!

So please tell me what GUI you have that you are using to make these zip files. maybe i could get it and try that. I have all the latest versions of winzip 7z and Winrar.

I have separately downloaded and tested the Australia_SAM.zip once with 7-zip and again with Winrar both times it extracted wtihout error.

The problem is somewhere between the server and your chair.

It is not my computer causing the problem it must be what you are using to compress them or have the wrong setting for you zip program you are using.

As noted here: http://www.smrsimple.com/2009/06/australia/#comment-54

The file you mentioned worked perfectly in 7-zip. As well you are the first user to report any errors. As such I can only imagine that it is a problem on your end.
