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...
