   I looked at the 00GLOBAL file today.   
   It didn't have a Extension so I figured it was ASCII Text and tried   
   opening it with NotePad but it looked like a big mess.   
   So I tried using WordPad and saw that it is a Directory List of Files,   
   not what I expected it to be.   
      
   You said to sift through the contents, so I'll wander through the list   
   and go D/L a few of them today to read about OS/2.   
      
   Thanks es 73   . .
