Solution 1: Although the readme file indicates that the CD can be used on workstations, the CD was written in a Windows 95/NT specific format. This means that the CD cannot be correctly read from a workstation. This problem doesn't occur on Win95/NT PCs. The workaround is to either copy CD contents to a networked drive using a PC or to access our Web Site directly, and download the information that you are interested in.
