Hello,i have tried to download some maps from this forum which is no problem,but when i try to open the maps i can't see it because it is in some form of encoded writing which i do not know how to decipher,any help appreciated,thanks Roy.

Sounds like you need to open them using the haltech program. I can post it up if you don't already have it.

Post it. I don't have it on disk or my PC, just on my laptop.

Here it is.

sometimes you need to change em to the right file extension too

Are you right clicking and doing a save as? I just downloaded the program I uploaded and another map someone had posted, and it worked for me. The file extention needs to be .6KM on the maps.
