You have to unzip the files into their appropriate folders inside your CC installation:
age, fni, prp and sum files go into the dat folder
pak files (if any) go into the Python folder
sdl files (if any) go into the SDL folder
ogg files (if any) go into the sfx folder
Then you can place the age links into books with the ULM.
I wish I could make it easier than that but unfortunately the contestants have used different folder structures in their zip files. So simply extracting everything to the root of your CC folder would create a big mess.
If that sounds complicated your best bet is to wait until the ages are released through the ULM.

I'm so glad the ages will be released in the ULM. Do you know how soon that will happen?

I hope I'm in the right place, just wanted to repeat what I said elsewhere:
Congratulations, Lontahv, Whilyam and Andy, WELL DONE!!! And thanks sooo much for your efforts you put into it all, it is appreciated and if and when MORE comes back, I shall partly "blame" it on all the hardworking people in this community!
And of course let's not forgot the OTHER contestents, well done too, and you deserve a reward too... you are a LOT braver than most of us!

I couldn't seem to get into my CC installation, but I was able to put Andy's age into the ULM myself and it works! now to try the others. Thank you for telling me how to do it.

You can open rar files with
WinRAR. It is shareware but after the trial period is over it will still work (although it displays a nag screen).

Or you can use
ZipGenius! It's totally free, opens many currently used archive formats, and looks pretty decent too.

Can't someone just put it in a Zip file or something, rather than download some other program?
