Hi Ron, thanks for the suggestions, but my Grolier Encyclopedia disk only has 1 file on it called ae.db and it's size is 195768320. I've tried typing ae, ae.db, install, but nothing works. I was told by another Compuserve member that I did need an installation disk, but I don't think I can get one without buying the whole package. The guy I bought the CD-ROM from included the CD, but no software to go with it, and he claims he never tried to run this disk so he wasn't sure how it worked. Any other info you have would be greatly appreciated. I'd hate to see a good CD go to waste just because I didn't have the setup software!.

I have the 1992 edition; the install is on the CD-ROM. It's INSTALL.EXE. I do have an 800 number for Grolier: 800-356-5590 Their regular number is 203-797-3530. Ron

Thanks Ron for the phone numbers. I'll have to give them a call to see if they will sell me just the install software. Thanks again.

John, please tell me what version of the enecyclopedia. I have both the 1991 version from Software Toolskit that I got from DAK and the new multimedia one (for DOS). Maybe I can help. Phil Haase 🙂

Hi Phil, I have the 1991 version. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks!

John, if you give me your address, I 'll make a copy of the manual for you. Please email me your address. I assume that the CDROM has the Software Toolkit Logo on it ( I want to make sure I send the right manual). Phil 🙂
