    very hard question

    Ive been working for months and months to try to find a way to unpack this file, but no luck.

    If you found a way to unpack, please send me the code

    If you unpack it correctly, there is a file inside called hello.txt with the text inside containing the work "Hi"

    The file is inside of the zip file

    Yea, that's what I have as well:
    http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=PBO
    http://www.elberethzone.net/index.ph...ge=en#download

    I also tried to open your file but UnPacker tells that the file is empty. Sorry, Narfy.

    BTW, those links are results of GOOGLE search:

    yes, ive tried all those links with no luck.

    no its not empty

    is there anyway to figure out how to unpack it by hex editing the file? or is that impossible?

    Well... just looking at it it looks like a file called Hello.txt has the contents of

    hi

    in it.

    In other words, it's nothing really. So you don't need to open it anymore .

    Unpack it for what? You already know it is a file with the contents of

    hi

    do you really need to unpack it to know that it really says hi?

    because it could contain more "complicated" files inside of it that may not beable to be read by using notepad, like it can contain images and such.

    how do you actually know what it contains? Do you have some kind of program that can read this?

    have you tried emailing the writers of the program and asking them for code? you should try that. or just asking them what the structure is and how it is compressed.
