Old Forum Zip files

Hello All

I downloaded the zip files from the old forum before it shut down but I am unable to set it up to search correctly. I have the zzb.exe file which loads a forum page with some messages and the search function works to shows a list of messages but then it tries to search the parsimony site for the message rather than my hard disk.

How can I configure it to search in my message directory ?
The language on the buttons on the backup browser software is German.
Can I have some translations and what they do please.

Bearbeiten > Drucken > Beenden

There is a combo box with a forum number in it - not sure what this does.
There is a button with Index-Seite then a left and right arrow buttons.
There are a number of sietexxx.dat files so I presume these are an index of some sort.

There are places to enter data with
Beitrag-Nr xxxxxx then a button labelled Laden (?..?)
Archive-Nr xxxxxx then a button labelled Laden (0..0)

Hi Al,

I unzipped the files into their own directory and simply used Windows explorer search capability to search for a word or phrase in the files. This worked fine for me.

I haven't tried it but possibly you could set Internet Explorer to work "offline" so that it doesn't try and access the internet.

Hi

Another place to look for is in the following page

[forum.pcsoft.fr]

I don't know if it is complete, but it is online.

Hello Alvaro

Thanks for the suggestion, there were a few items in that forum that I was looking for.
I had forgotten that they were picking up the posts from the Parsimony forum.

Hello mikz

The zip files I have are ones that I downloaded before the forum was closed. I don't have the complete message set as I collected them about 4 months before the forum closed so they stop at message #34017 on 30/12/2007. Maybe someone else has a full set.

There is about 55mb. and they are in 15mb zip files so I could email them to you if you can cope with an email of that size or maybe If someone on the forum has an ftp server I could load them to ?

Hi all,

the old forum zip files can be downloaded from here now:

<a href="[www.windev.at];
<a href="[www.windev.at];
<a href="[www.windev.at];
<a href="[www.windev.at];
<a href="[www.windev.at];
<a href="[www.windev.at] (zbb.exe) - viewer</a>

I'm still trying to get the old forum up & running in read-only mode, please be patient ..

Kind regards,
Guenter

Hi Jon,

In the event that you fail to locate this I have the old forum downloaded as three archive files to a total of around 40 MBytes of data. If you need some information I could burn it to CD and mail it to you.
