Les Manley working DOS version
:bye:

Hello anyone
I downloaded the game from the above link, but it does not look like a executable file, its name is lesman.7z and it does not run in DOSBox using that name. I tried changing the file extension from .7z to .exe but still no luck. Please advise - my sister has been stuck on this game for ages because of the error 51 which the forum says is a bug in the game, so I downloaded from the above link because a member later said this one works.

Please advise re how to run lesman.7z under DOSBox.

Many thanks Wendy

7z is a format much like Zip, Rar, etc so you need to unpack it.

Hello Paco

Thanks a huge stack for your info, I downloaded 7-zip and used it to unpack/unzip the lesman.7Z file from the link earlier in this forum. I tested it and the game played/started up okay under DOSBox. I then copied my sisters saved game into the same directory/folder. and played from that saved game under DOSBox and guess what, I got past the place where my sister's version of the game got a "51" error and crashed out.

So I sent her the saved game, and I am hoping it will work in her version of the game. (If not, I will tell her where to get the lesman.7z file in this Abandonia forum and where to download the 7-zip file from to unpack the lesman.7z file with.
Once again, I very much appreciate your help and for teaching me something new.
Best regards
Wendy
