Just as an adjunct to David's comments:
If you need the Interlink files, we have them available for download on
our web site in a zip file that includes a "read me" file explaining how
to use them. Go to: http://nospin.com/pc/files003.html
You will find the zip file on this page as: MS Interlink (37k)
