- I've installed cardfile from windows 3.0a. One of the first few Windows
- disks has the "expand" program needed. Run it in a DOS session to see
- the options. For each program on the Win disks (compressed programs end with
- '$', if I recall correctly), run expand. That's it.
-
- It has been some time since I've done this, so I may have fogotten something.
- Send email if you find problems.
