TomGoodheart Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Welcome Steve. Photos would help people gauge what you have. You can find info on how to add photos to a post here: http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/7880-posting-pics/ Edited January 2, 2014 by TomGoodheart
Peckris Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Hi, I have a few Roman coins for sale if anyone is interested send me an email.Thanks. SteveI might be interested Steve, but as Tom says, we need to see pictures first. If interested I would then send you a PM.
johncash Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 http://fontnew.com/coins.rarthis is the link to download the photoIf anyone is interested make me an offer.I can also accept an exchange with Italian coins of the period 1500 to 1900 (of similar value to the lot).
Accumulator Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Not sure what file type you have used (.rar, which I've never come across?) , but I'm unable to open it. I don't collect Roman coins but was interested to take a look.

I don't collect Roman coins but was interested to take a look..rar is a file type rather like a .zip archive - it holds compressed versions of files which then have to be uncompressed. If you're using Windows, I thought that .rar files were recognised? On my Mac I long ago downloaded a free utility (UnrarX) which uncompresses them. Maybe there is a Windows version too?

Someone sent me an image with a psd(?) extension a while back, but neither I nor the windows program on my computer recognised it, so the image had to be binned. It wasn't the first unopenable file received as Baldwins also format their files in some unintelligible way. Obviously the problem is proprietary software, but nobody is going to buy every available program just to view an image which may not appear. Something along the lines of Adobe reader which allows you to read only would be useful. Edited January 3, 2014 by Rob

I'll need to download a utility then. Thanks.

Obviously the problem is proprietary software, but nobody is going to buy every available program just to view an image which may not appear. Something along the lines of Adobe reader which allows you to read only would be useful.Common file extensions:.doc or .docx - Microsoft Word, but will open in other programs too.pdf - generic pdf which will open in Adobe Reader & other programs.jpg - generic jpeg image file.png .tif .gif .bmp - other image files.psd - Photoshop or Elements file.zip - compressed files in an archive.rar - similar, but needs special program to open and may carry a password.txt - basic text file.rtf - rich text file (like .txt but with retained formatting).mov - Quicktime movie.avi - video file.mp3 - music MP3.aac .m4a .aif .wav - other audio types, some compressed, some not.xls - Excel spreadsheet.ppt - Powerpoint fileThat's most of the commoner types, I think.
Rob Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 So what do you use to open png, tif, gif and bmp files? I can't remember what Baldwins used (png?).
Nick Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 So what do you use to open png, tif, gif and bmp files? I can't remember what Baldwins used (png?). Those you mention are all image formats, so the Windows default picture viewer (or MS Paint) would cover most of those. If not, a free download such as Paint.NET will do the trick.

Rob Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Firstly, what exactly does it do that Windows doesn't and is it easy to use? Is it compatible with all computers? Do you have to remove microsoft's paint program first or does it do it automatically to avoid having two programs with the same name? If it comes with full instructions, presumably this info will be written down?I don't want to b****r up my computer and have to spend money getting it repaired if one of the kids isn't around. Better to retain a working system and not have it than wreck what I've got. Thanks.
Peter Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 We have 4 lap tops and a desk top.Trouble is mine is in the lounge and the lazy buggers use it like my ebay,amazon and even Tesco account.When £150 of cupcakes and booze turn up for my eldest girls evening.I mean NO BEER.

Better to retain a working system and not have it than wreck what I've got. Thanks.I don't use Windows, but very many people who do use the free image software Picasa. I imagine that Picasa opens most image type files? And downloading it won't b*gger up your system.In fact, the links are here:1. The file types supported in Windows - https://support.google.com/picasa/answer/19496?hl=en2. To download the software - http://picasa.google.co.uk/
geoffhobson Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I just tried to open the .rar with Picasa and it would not work.
Nick Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I just tried to open the .rar with Picasa and it would not work.RAR is a container format for compressed files, so it may contain files that Picasa would open, but you'd have to extract them first. Download a trial version of WinRAR (or something else suitable) to extract the files, then use Picasa to view/edit the files.

But it will do exactly the same job.
