	The way I had to do it was to run the DOS version of "Guest", THEN boot
Win95 from the DOS prompt (not really "boot", but start it anyway).

	I then copied the contents of the Zip disk into a temporary directory on
the drive and installed from that directory.

	Now it works fine, but I agree with you--it was like pulling teeth at first.
