low rated
I'm finding that I cannot open the supposedly "Included in the price" mauals.
Evidently you have to pay an additional fee to Winzip to get the manuals open?
That bites donkey balls, if so. Hopefully there is another way to download the manuals?

Download the manuals as usual
Download WinRAR and install
Right click on the packed file and click extract to "blah bah blah manual"
it'll extract to a folder
This way, it's free, but there's no other way...

You certainly don't need to get winzip to open up the compressed files. In fact, windows will quite happily open compressed archives natively but failing that, there's a free version of Winzip or WinRAR will do the job too.

You have to pay for internet, internet-capable computer, and electricity too, such a rip-off...
Alternatively, Winzip has a free trial version, or you can try a freeware compression tool.

Use WinRAR. http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar392.exe

I would know another website that offers manuals but I'm not sure if it is legal so I won't give a link. Just google for "Replacement Docs".

Also as far as I know every single GOG game unzips the manual into the install directory, look for PDFs

7-zip, free and works great
Edit: Install 7-zip, right-click downloaded manuals zip or rar file, click 7-zip, click Extract here . . open manual using Adobe reader or Foxit reader

They see me trollin', yet they be givin' me advice.

Wow, bearcat33 has actually managed to get himself back up to 0 rep. Last time he trolled here I think he was somewhere around -27 rep. Unfortunately despite the rep increase, it looks like his trolling skills still haven't improved any, he's still posting stuff that makes him look like a complete dumbass.
EDIT - And now he is back into the negatives. That didn't take very long.

Trolling or flaming isn't as fun when there's not one single insult thrown about.
By the way, I had this thread grayed out as if I had already seen it and there were no replies. Is that a bug or it just happens with negative rep posts and it's GOG forum's way of telling me "don't bother to look here".

Luckily, no other company using downloads zips up their files...oh...wait...yes they do.
You could have Googled and found about a dozen 100% free to use unpacker programs. You didn't, because you're a worthless sack of crap. Die. You're useless to society.
