I thought I got it there, but am not 100% positive now. Though I only remember downloading form there that night

This is driving me nuts. Where is that file? I know what a "Multikara" (Multicar) is, but haven't found a 1-100th model of it.

[The-EDSEL]

here is part of the text from the .doc file in the rar;
"Návod
Model sa skladá z približne 160 dielov. Ide o stredne obtiažnu vystrihovačku. Pri práci je dôležité dodržiavať presnosť a kontrolovať súmernosť zlepovaných dielov. Model umožňuje dve varianty zloženia. Svypracovaným, alebo ne vypracovaným interiérom."

Also, if that if what this model is suppose to be, why is one page called model DAF??
I understand pages multikara & multikara1 are just variations of the same file.
But, I am trying to find out what all 3 together are suppose to build.

Your doing better than me, I can't even find that model there!

That's because it isn't there. Wherever he got it from, it's not a Minimodel. In fact as the Slovak instructions say it has 160 parts, I doubt that it's 1-100th. More probably 1-32nd or 1-24th. Most likely is this ABC model, in 1-32nd scale (which I have):
which is the IFA Multicar 2510 Tipper lorry, or

which is the IFA Multicar 2548 cleaning vehicle. But where the DAF bit comes in, I don't know. Phew. All this fuss!

I feel better now, I was feeling a bit daft!!

[The-EDSEL]

I can't remember where I got it either.
And it is not likely that I know the trick necessary to get my PC to tell me.

All I know is I can not find a drawing/picture editor that will let me open or convert it to jpg,etc so I can see what I have.

And doing an internet search of that file title,
does not tell me anything either

zmf seems to be the native format of Zoner Draw, a czech drawing program. It's probably commercial sofware.

That file format is among the ones xnview supposedly reads. My copy of xnview won't display pics when their names uses non latin characters (e.g. japanese kanji and kana and some other special characters). Try renaming the files in Windows Explorer if the names use diacritics?

Edit: OK, found a link on the french language page to a download that doesn't ask for your e-mail. Evaluation copy or fully functional?

[Zathros]

It's a trial copy. I don't know why anyone would want to use an obscure program with a native format that barely anyone uses. Too little too late.

[The-EDSEL]

Yea, I found that out through yahoo search.
ALL zoner software is payware. they offer a 5-30 day trial, but......
I had a Panorama creator from Give Away Of The Day, but that was on a different PC.

I wish I could find the site I got the model from, since it looks like I did not get it from Minimodels-cz. Maybe they could offer a back up with pdf, jpg, png, tif, gif files to replace the one I got.

If anyone comes up with a way to open and convert the files let me know.
I will forward the rar to you so you can help me.

[Zathros]

I have never seen a file that XNView said would open, and didn't, unless the file was corrupted, which is a possibility. If I had the file, I could work with it, but this is chasing a ghost.
