   EV> I looked at the 00GLOBAL file today.   
   EV> It didn't have a Extension so I figured it was ASCII Text and tried   
   EV> opening it with NotePad but it looked like a big mess.   
      
   IIRC the file was either a *.ZIP or a *.GZ compressed file but I can't   
   check it right now since I have it in uncompressed form on this machine.   
      
   EV> So I tried using WordPad and saw that it is a Directory List of   
   EV> Files, not what I expected it to be.   
      
   I've never heard of uncompressing files Note- or Word-Pad. You know,   
   there are special programs for that purpose!   
      
   Yes, the beginning of the contents shows the directory listing but then   
   follows the list of files in each directory. You can use "Find" to get   
   to the directory you want to look at the contents.   
      
   EV> You said to sift through the contents, so I'll wander through the   
   EV> list and go D/L a few of them today to read about OS/2.   
      
   There's also another way: The HOBBES OS/2 CD's from Walnut Creek are   
   available from book stores too. I have a few of them.
