Nearly three months down the track, I eventually got around to
trying your suggestion.

I got the local I'net Cafe to download them and blow them on a
CD-ROM... 20 minutes, cost $3.10.

No problems. I have over 500 Mb free on my C: drive and over 1 Gb
free on the D: drive.

That gives a "Warning! Insufficient Memory" error. I thought
maybe the 16 megs of RAM wasn't sufficient.

But I got the same error when I tried it on the Win computer with
80 megs of RAM and an 8 Gb HDD, although that wasn't where I
really wanted it.

LATER: I'm told it is because I am using an antique FAT16 unzipper, and
it needs a FAT32 one. So I'll have to do some googling for that.

But I want to install it on my current D: drive which is formatted as
FAT16, since the system is running under DOS.

Does the fact that it needs a FAT32 unzipper mean that it will have to
be a FAT32 enviroment where it is installed?

Does that rule out installing and using it on this computer?
