I am not sure I understood. Do you simply want to share it here? Why not zip it? Else, if the extension is a problem, why not simply change it to .tap or something else?

If the file is not a tape image and you don't know what it is, simply zip and share it here, so we can have a look :)

Thanks my friend it was that easy just changing the file extensions , i have put the problem program in the missing games on ORIC.ORG part of the site . the only other problem that one of the files which i think is the loader file is a wav file which i believe is a problem with them being so big . I hope one of the tech guys might convert the wav file to make it all tap files ?

I've got a feeling this 'Kit' was 4 stand-alone programs on one tape. Each of the first three programs says 'Stop the tape' as soon as it has loaded, and starts with detailed instructions on that 'module'. I suspect the WAV file is simply the original tape containing the 4 programs. I've put it on Oric.org in this way... until someone finds something different!

[EDIT: ...as they have! There is indeed a loader menu :D ]
