I don't know why it wouldn't extract under NT, other than you have a bad
tool. But at any rate, do NOT attempt to run this under Win
98, or for
that matter NT. I'm not sure how NT handles the serial ports compared to
Win 9x, but I wouldn't trust it anyway. Just run under real DOS so that
your access to the serial ports is unhindered by POOR programming.
I'm going to run it on an old Compaq 486 that has been lying around here
looking for a job, I've just put a fresh DOS installation on it, and
installed the emulator. I was making images and learning how to drive the
software. I'll take the machine to work with me tomorrow and hook it up to
the 11/23.
