Ok, I clicked on it on my lastop and I got that same view. There is no
floppy drive on that laptop though. I do have an external USB floppy
drive, I wonder if that will work? (First I got to find that thing). 

Actually the only computer that has a floppy drive is my Windows 98
machine. I hope this EXE will run on Win98.

I could also plug a floppy drive into my XP desktop. It has the
connector for a floppy on the motherboard. Come to think of it, that
tower has space to install a floppy drive. I should just put one in
there permanently.

I can see one problem though. That tower dont have the mini-molex plug
that the floppy drive needs. Looks like another trip to ebay is needed.
(What is the correct name for that plug adaptor?)
