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.
