It is super simple
Download
WinZip, extract the file, then play the game using
DOSBox
How? Well, after you install DOSBox, you write in
mount c [folder where keen is located]
c:
keen
And that should do it!

oh, well, eh, if you're using ME... yeah, no need for DOSBox
Well, there was this trial option,
but I guess you're better off with
WinRAR anyway

That, is obviously an archiver, that will obviously, extract the zip archive you can't open!

Or use 7zip, freeware and can handle *.zip and *.rar files.

Now he, she, we ,it.......something
That's weird 'cause I use 7zip all the time.
Works flawless on my PC.
7Zip site wrote:7-Zip works in Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP. There is a port of the command line version to Linux/Unix.
Seems something went wrong in your install or system, a corrupt *.DLL maybe?
One that got overwritten by an older prog or such?
Happens a lot in w95/W98/WME.

Tryt this: delete what you have downed t'll now, they are corrupt anyway.
Redownload ONE archive, let it fully download t'll you are sure it's not somewhere hanging in a cache-temp folder,( give it 2 minutes or such), and try again to unzip.
*edit
We hate you anyway, we hate all peeps that post here.
We are all badmooded here.
Bad we are.
Naaaa, you have a prob, we will solve it lolz.

Well, it's obviously corrupted, probably due to the incomplete downloiad.
Are you on dial-up?
Cuz if you're not, I say you blame it on the site you're downloading from!
