The last link does not work, because it is dangerous, so it is automatically deleted on every download attempt.
How do you drag and drop a file into another file?
I tried, but it didn't work.
Maybe you have the link of the file that should be received? (If you can drag and drop for me).

Sorry for the confusion. I thought you were trying to update an older Keen 5 version because I saw the yellow 5keen14 icon in your screenshot. If you already have Keen 5 v1.4, you don't need any update.

The UNLZEXE program that comes with this level pack is a DOS program, so you cannot drag and drop onto it in Windows. Drag the folder onto the DOSBox icon to go the folder inside DOSBox. Then run this command:

Code: Select all

unlzexe keen5e.exe
The result should look kind of like the below screenshot, but the folder names will be different for you. I circled the part you have to type.

Then you can run "go5" to start the game.

If there are any problems, please post another screenshot so we can see what is wrong.

Thanks! Did you mean for me to put all the files in one folder, then copy the folder to dosbox, or copy go5 into dosbox?
Then type what is in the red circle? (Just type that?).
Here is a screenshot of an attempt to type what you wrote:

רגע! פתאום זה עובד לי!
פשוט העתקתי הכול מחדש, אחרי השינויים.
מקווה שגם שאר רמות הישנות יעבדו לי.
בינתיים תודה רבה רבה על כל העזרה!!!

[Google Translate:]
One moment! Suddenly it works for me!
I just copied everything again, after the changes.
Hopefully the other old levels will work for me as well.
In the meantime, thank you very much for all the help!!!
