Could you list the programs that will unzip this file? I have gotten an email asking what will work. I used Norton unzip to unzip it here.

Maybe it's just my computer or my connection, but I keep getting this error message when I try to download this software:
Not Found
The requested URL /staticlogo.js was not found on this server.

Chuck,
I get this error message when clicking on the link to your mowing software, and also when I click on the Download button.
This problem might be isolated to my ISP, so I'll just try downloading later on.
Thanks.

Chuck sent me this program a couple days ago, but I just downloaded it again and I had no problems at all downloading it.

There are free zip programs on the net. Winzip is I think the most popular program. Will let you trial the program for a while. There are a bunch more, just do a search for "unzip"

I had no problem downloading; it came as a self-extracting file. If anyone really needs a compression app get WinZip at http://www.winzip.com its free to try but they ask for payment if u want to keep it.
There is a program called Aladdin Expander from FileWorld on PCWORLD downloads, http://www.pcworld.com it's FREE, and it handles a lot of file types. FAST TOO!

It's a nice looking program sinclac! I could see where it could use some variable input fields though in both the mowing and trimming. In the mowing catagory you could add fields for objects to mow around, size of objects, percent efficency of mowing, type of grass (is it weeds or grass?, weeds take longer to cut), are there any steep slopes, size of steep slopes and density of grass. The trimming calculator could use the same basic fields in addition to length of trimming (feet) and trimming speeds, fast, medium and slow.

I thought that it was a great program and had no problems down loading it. I do have to agree with the suggestion that Richard Martin gave.
