I grabbed the files using my venerable Windows 3.1 machine. But the STEP
1.1.doc file still doesn't open. :-( The error is "out of memory". Also
grabbed the .ZIPped version via my Mac and Word 6 sort of opened it (treaded
it as text). Will try this compressed version on my 386 and see what
happens.
