Singh, Sadhu Sundar: At the master's feet v1.13 Apr 2009

Sadhu Sundar Singh, an indian guru brought up in an Islamic type of environment, got saved after he wanted to commit suicide, and wanted to have a final question answered: "Is God real?".

Jesus appeared to him, and from there on he writes down his experiences with Jesus and his visions.

This book has been translated from Urdu (an Indian language) in 1922, and it does not have the glitter of a well versed writer.
This book is non-fiction, a real life experience written down.

Enjoy!

3 versions; different fontsizes include: small: 6pt, normal: 8pt, & large: 10pt

You'll need winrar, winzip, or preferably 7-Zip on your pc to extract the files

This file has been compressed with 7z using the LZMA compression methode, and put in a .zip container. You could also install 7z from www.7-zip.org/*[/B]

I used WinZip v8 and it didn't extract the LZMA compressed .zip archive. Neither could the WinXP SP3 built-in zip facility extract any of those files. I got this error message when using WinZip:

error: no files were found - nothing to do

When using 7-zip, just create a Zip archive using Ultra compression level with the Deflate method (see screenshot) and then it WILL be compatible with existing .zip utilites. The 0.5% filesize gain is minimal/negligible. ;)

thanks for the info! I'll try as you say.
I wanted to upload it as 7z, for the filesize there is only 180kb. Have you tried if deflate 64 works for zip as well?

Yes, I did try it. It didn't work as it used an unsupported compression method 12.

While 7-Zip is a handy compressor/extractor, it can easily be made to produce "old style" .zips which most already know how to extract.

Don't change your zip utility, just the method of compression to 'Deflate' using 'Ultra' compression. Win-win. ;)
