[pchelpers] Re: How do I email a .dll or .exe file?

Easy to convert the .exe and .dll file to zip with XP.
I sent them both as zips to Ed with a CC to myself
via my cable service. The two attached zip files as CC
to me worked fine. The email with two attached zip files
bounced to Ed.  I just resent the zipped .dll to Ed. Maybe
it will get through. It is the more important of the two files. 

If it doesn't fly, I'll just mail him the two zipped files on a floppy
after trying a different email account he has via yahoo.com.
