 |
|
| It has become quite a fashion nowadays to compress zip, pdf, and other formats into .exe self-extracting documents. This has been an increasing problem for me, because I'm not able to open them with wine. Don't you know of any other programs that do this? |

You can just unzip Most of those .exe "wrappers" directly.

I've tried to unzip directly but it didn't work... :-S
That's why I asked. |
