Hi Maynard and others,

I really don't understand your 'problem' with the new install routine.
Once you start the exe file it first shows you exactly that read.me
everyone of you seems to want; even before unpacking or installing
anything. Am I not right?

It then gives you another chance of reading it after the installation
was completed in a OS/2 way, namely by calling the e.exe with the
read.me in it.

I don't see anything at fault with this procedure, do you?

Greetings
Jocki
PS: I admit that I like having zip files instead, though. ;-)
