You're right. This is yet another way to install Windows 95 Upgrade in a
clean install.

Back in the old days, when Window Magazine was in vogue, I subscribed to
that wonderful publication. (I still have the weather beaten mags.)

Windows Magazine, described creating a file in note pad (love it) with
the following notation win.cn_ For what ever reason, Windows 95 upgrade
saw it, liked it and accepted it. There are times that I have to install
DOS though. These are the systems that require a lot of TLC. You know,
the 33MHG CPU's. You have to coax them to work. Like a Win3x machine?

I have been using this since Windows 95 hit the market but now that
Windows 98 and 98SE are here, I have devised several ways to install
those OS's thanks to the generic CD ROM driver provided by a fellow
PCBUILD person and now in the NOSPIN archives. <smile> It has saved me
several times due to the Legacy syndrome and the older motherboards not
being PNP.

Thank you for giving me another way to go.

Sincerely,

Frank Suszka
