Interesting. I need to look at them further.
HOWEVER: I saw something there about unpacking an .exe... and googled
that, and found someone talking about doing that... which led me to
cabextract, and, sure 'nough, I now have what was in that exe - flat
files, CD, floppy! even a WinDoze floppy label printer!
Now all I have to do is figure out which will be easiest to use - I'm
hoping I can just copy the flat files or the floppy files, or USB files,
and reboot into freedos and go.
