Hi..

What they all mean i don't no, but i think they have to do with copy command
under Dos offcourse. But if you want to run them you have to open a dos box
by going to, Start, Program's, Assocaires (or something like that) and than
Dos prompt.. Than you have to go to the directory where they are by using
the command cd windows enter
cd system etc etc.

Than you can run them.

Greetings, Anne
