  unrar says that the file is not a valid archive.   ;  Bump - this is still showing as a bad archive file. Has anyone contacted the author? If not let me know and I will email him.   ;  I'll take care of it.   ;  The author sent me each chapter as an individual Word file, which I've archived in good old ZIP format and placed at the link above. That should solve all data access problems.   ;  I've looked at this, and I have no idea how to handle it. It's way to big to be published as a single entity and it doesn't seem to be structured appropriately for the chapters to be published individually.   ;  I don't think it's too big to publish as a single entity. We'll want to drop the cover, and possibly the contents page too, but it's like publishing a short e-book. It'd be nice to get more people submitting 184-page masters thesis for us to put up.Needs some language editing. First sentence of chapter 3 ("Warning") says "This game contains (mayor) spoilers," and it should of course say "This document contains (major) spoilers." I imagine the rest of it needs checking for similar issues.
