alice-teacher s Digest, Vol 55, Issue 12

It should be noted that Alice .a2w files and .a3w files are compressed files, and some browsers and email clients, recognizing this, will attempt to read / convert them (or at least change the suffix) from .a2w (.a3w), to more standard formats (.zip).

We have found that it is almost always a best practice to place an Alice project file inside of a directory and then compress / zip that directory.

Let me know if you have more questions.

I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
--- Henry David Thoreau

The true object of all human life is play. -- G.K. Chesterton
