Hello,
I followed the link and downloaded erperfre.exe at 1,889,/// bytes. Is
that the correct file? There wasn't but a windows program not able to be
run in dos mode? I must have missed something I thought that their was a
command.com, and system files which were the only updates from the #703
version?
Please correct me so I know what's missing and also I didn't find the
"overlay" file as also mentioned?
Thanks for clearifying.
Mark
