Heyho GOG Team :D

Could you please provide plain $compressedarchive files for us Linux users? I had to use Wine to decompress your archive as even 7za could not make head or tails from it. :/
I mean, a simple "sudo apt-get install dosbox" installs dosbox for me, so i dont need that, foxit reader has becoma an ad-fest anyway, so i wouldnt even want that, and i just need to dump the game into ~/dos, start dosbox and type NC to move around my virtual DOS with style to the game i just downloaded.
Or i just copy the games over to my real DOS machine.
In both cases i dont need that installer. A cool alternative would be a DOS based installer to call from dosbox or a real DOS machine, BTW. :D

If they did that, they'd then have to support installing them that way. They simply don't have the resources to cope with that.

To extract their installers, use innounp (which uses Wine) or wait for pinnounp to be working.

For games with available source code I think it would be fantastic if GOG offered that through the gamecard, too.

Don't look at me, I'd like simple archives too. That's not the point.
