Peter,

Despite what Harvey may think, there are at least two
of us who keep old disks around.  <grin>

Any filename that ends with the underscore (like EX_) is
a specially compressed file.  You must use the Microsoft
EXPAND.EXE (or maybe it's EXTRACT?)  program from
the same Win3x disks to uncompress these files.

First type in EXPAND /? (or EXTRACT /?) to see the
format/syntax for using the extractor.
