text to BTE - Jim von Krieg - 11-30-2009 I need a technical assist... One of my opponents sent me an unzipped turn, but when I DL from yahoo it goes from a BTE associated file to a txt associated file and the game doesn't recognize it. It keeps the .BTE, but it is associated with a txt file and CS doesn't seem to recognize it as a PBEM file. Any suggestions? RE: text to BTE - Jason Petho - 11-30-2009 Ask them to resend it zipped? Jason Petho RE: text to BTE - Jim von Krieg - 11-30-2009 Nothing to get it unassociated with txt file? I'm playing, but so far no joy. RE: text to BTE - Jim von Krieg - 11-30-2009 Luckily, his e-mail includes a second file... I can DL all and get a zip file... which keeps the file bte... However, it seems once a file on its own is associated w/ txt I can't get it back to bte...

What do you open txt files with? Maybe changing the opening program to WordPad or something might help? Of course, you couldn't do a save as, you would just have to change the extention. test.txt test.bte Jason Petho RE: text to BTE - Jim von Krieg - 11-30-2009 It reminds me of issues I had when I had AOL back in the day... it was still a .bte file, but it became associated with txt... which I could not seem to undo... it seem to be occurring in the yahoo download function... RE: text to BTE - Larry Reese - 11-30-2009 I suspect the intermediary is modifying the file based on a default, or the Windows set up is doing that somehow. I used to have problems with unzipped files way back in the day too; I'm running Firefox/Thunderbird now and haven't ever had a problem (but then I do a lot of customization to the operating system too). Best of luck with it. Good to have you back on the board and in the CONUS man.
