Very true.
But is it a *necessary* step? Or is it because the writer didn't
know of any other operating system than Windows, apart from
Linux? Or didn't know that there were 32-bit unzippers other than
WinZip?
As it is, my successful install was done using the DOS that hides
under Win98, from a boot floppy where I had added fdisk and
format. The actual unzipping was done with UNZIP32.EXE that I
downloaded from somewhere a while ago, and found in my Arachne
download directory.
So Windows was *NOT* an essential part of the exercise.
