All I can tell you is that I dl'd the files and there is no apparent
install program included. By the looks of the zip contents, it doesn't
look like an rar ??

I d/l'ed it and it and properly unarjed it and it does crash every five
minutes. Is this the version that was floating around last October? (it
appears to be by the file dates?) That one crashed, too. I just figured it
was a buggy beta. Maybe this is the same buggy beta since SimCopter just
recently appeared in store shelves and the files in the arj are from late
last summer?

This version of SimCopter is a pre-release version. There is tons of
debugging code & files, Bugs, glitches, ommissions. I even found a
part where it said something like 'Got to add this later'.

Look in the TWEAK directory. Theres a clever cheating (testing)
program.

Seems like it would be a fun game to play. Anyone have the release
copy?
