   Hi Ed,   
      
   EV> OS/2 .INF files need the OS/2 Viewer to see what is in them.   
      
   Yes, they are help files for OS/2 are intended to be read in an   
   installed OS/2 environment.   
      
   EV> Microsoft .INF files are ASCII files.   
      
   I wonder if M$ help files can be read before Windows is installed with   
   an ASCII reader such as List? I don't think so.   
      
   EV> In the OS2WORLD.BBS file I looked for Your BBS but didn't see it.   
   EV> The OS2WORLD.BBS file I looked at was dated 07Sept1992.   
      
   That is because my BBS software, the PCBoard didn't have OS/2 support   
   until 1995 or 1996 so I ran the BBS under DOS/DesQview.   
      
   EV> You may not have had the BBS up then.   
      
   Certainly my BBS was up then but I updated the BBS to OS/2 in 1996 or   
   1997.
