Thanks Gary, this is very helpful.

WinZip doesn`t recognise the download as an archive

Oshyan---WinZip 8.1 SR-1 (5266)

Just downloaded it on a different machine and TugZip opened it without problem and looking back the manner of download suggests the file was corrupted and only partially transmitted

EDIT

Seems like  the fault lies in my copy of WinZip, I just upgraded it as a matter of course and I cannot recall using it since the upgrade, preferring TUGZip.
Just tried again on the other machine and the attempt to save cut short at 74.7kp after one second (no use) so instead of save, I went to open and downloaded to a temporary file---Download successful

Bill,
I used AlZip to create the file maybe WinZip just doesn't like its way of doing things.  Like Oshyan says I have'nt had anyone else complain YET, but if it doesn't work out for you I can always send you the broken up zip package by email.  Conversely, you could try another free zip program like AlZip or JustZipIt they are both real handy, AlZip has the advantage of being able to read a whole bunch of compressed formats.

For me Winzip and Winrar complain of 'unexpected end of archive'

d/l and installed tugzip and it can see the files and directory structure but when I come to extract them I just get an empty directory


[later]

Just d/l and installed ALZip

it gives 'Error Header corrupted'

Didn't you say you packed it with ALzip??

Carbon,
I tried it again myself.  The first time I did the download it downloaded 152K then blazed to the finish.  The resulting file of course was empty.  I tried a second time and it worked fine!  Go figure!  I unzipped the file with "JustZipIt" and it unzipped just fine with all files intact.  Maybe the bad downloads have some time-outs occuring.  However, anyone who would like me to send them just the PDF or the entire file via Email I'd be glad to comply, at least until this all gets sorted out.

oooohhh cant wait to give this a run through.  It all unzipped fine for me.

Thanks Gary

oh just noticed, i justed used xp's own unzipper, just in case it has a bearing on things 

When I open the file "Empty Terrain" all I get is a flat surface. I followed the tutorial up to where it says " the finished image should look something like this." Mine doesn't even come close. Any ideas?

Fisherman - you need to hit the Generate Terrain button before you see it.

See above
"it was pointed out to me that there might be some confusion about an omission that I inavertenly made in the tutorial PDF.  When you load the "Empty terrain" you must press the "Generate" button to get Terragen 2 to create the starting terrain!  Second, your camera will be moved to a different location during the tutorial."
