Gotcha. Now all I need to do is find that floppy... :-)

That's what I was thinking too. I looked around for Win32s here, and what I
found in the files section here was a 1.2 version, tried installing that and
I got through the process okay but that little game they give you wouldn't
work, it complains that it can't find a particular DLL file, something to
do with the math coprocessor?
Anyway, I'm about ready to re-do the win install on there to fix the
problem. Even though I ripped the program out, it's still looking for it
somewhere in one of the ini files and still giving me that error message when
I go into winos2...
