Ron, anyone !
so i have tried this morning and hit a problem with winFUP.exe the new one. I am running a win95 box with nothing else on it as its the only laptop in the world left with an RS232 connection.
running winfup the error :
The SETUP.EXE file is linked to missing export USER32.DLL:SetMenuInfo

you OK that message and the Meridian self extractor program says it :
cannot creat process - a device attached to the system is not functioning.

God bless microsoft - anyone any ideas?
thanks a bunch
