Oh. The fact that it's an executable rather than a zip file threw me.

I saved the freepctech file to my hard drive and tried to launch it with
a new formatted floppy in the floppy drive. I tried a total of 3 times.
Nothing happened, except that a total of 3 "Win Image"(?) button thingies
showed up on my status bar. Normally, I right-click an open app from the
status bar and close it, but the only right-click option was Move.
I shut down with the floppy in the drive and restarted. I got that disk
error
message again. Once I got back into windows, I opened the floppy to see
what's on it. It is blank.
That can't be what's supposed to happen??
