I can admit to knowing who Wally Cox is and agree there is a similarity. The ISO format worked because it was provided to me. I could try to zip the contents and let people unzip it. They still need their own way to view it. That is where I wished I could plop it in my DVD player. I am only hosting it, so anyone with a better format is welcome to snail mail it to me or post it on their own site where I can doenload it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
