Re: Unzipping the ThinkPad Assistant



I had no problem unzipping the file with Winzip 6.2.  I did have a
problem displaying the pages in both Netscape 4 and IE 4. Some pages
display others wont.  Looking at the page source it appears the browsers
are having a problem with some of the characters.  The "_" underscore
character seems to display as a y with an umlaut over it instead of an
underscore.  That might be part of the problem.  Do those long file
names have spaces or are those underscores?  In Win95b they appear as
underscores, in my browsers they appear as those funny y's (which I
doubt they are supposed to be).  
Well I've got a grant proposal to get back to so that's all I have time
for at the moment.
