   The URL didn't work, so I removed the /pub and tried again.   
   That didn't work so I removed the /os2 and tried again and that did   
   the job.   
      
   00GLOBAL.txt was now a .gz file.   
   I took a look a 7-Zip Help and saw .gz is support so I grabbed it.   
   Now to open it and read it. Thanks!

   Not sure what (IRMC) is but I'll probably find out when reading   
   00GLOBAL.TXT .   
      
   I'm sure OS/2 has its own lingo for me to learn.   
      
   Thanks Again es 73
