Anxious to start using the new update I downloaded the files ( taking 4 hours of connect time @ 2400 baud) and tried to execute the files. First Norton antivirus complained about each file having a virus. My real problem now is that when I execute the file from DOS w/o windows running and no other applications running, with a system of 8MB of memory, I get a error of "insufficient memory". Any recomendations, Dan

Daniel, Unfortuneately, we have had reports of bugs in WINCIM. I would recommend that you re-download the *.exe files without the *.txt files. This should solve your problem. Diskettes will be available in 5-6 weeks if you don't want to go through the download again. Contact sales at that time. Dean Okna Tech

Help me understand the problem please, to give me confidence in spending 4 more hours to download. – Has WINCIM made some changes, on the compuserve end or on my end? – Have the Desktop files been updated to correct problems? – I have downloaded the latested WINCIM 3.1.1 and installed, but did this before download of your files. – Was this Wincim bad and should I redownload WINCIM?

Dan, << Help me understand the problem please, to give me confidence in spending 4 more hours to download.>> Forget about WINCIM as being the problem. Just D/L the executable files in one pass, ie: do not ask for any files with the extension .txt. The problem is one of CIS, in that a compressed file D/L'ed immediately following a text file, will be corrupted in some mysterious way which will prevent proper execution. To my knowledge, there have as yet been no updates to the 4.1b files in the lib. Ken

Daniel, Follow Ken Parker's suggestions. Patch files should be available next week.
