TOPIC

    I am running Windows 95 and am unable to expand the SYSUPDT.EX_ included on DISK1 of the Newton Backup Utility. There is no equivalent expand program included with Windows 95.

    Is there another way to expand the SYSUPDT.EX_ under Windows 95?

DISCUSSION

    The third-party utilities WinZip or PK Zip for Windows 95 will expand the files on the Newton Backup Utility disk. You can also use Microsoft's expand.exe utility. If you have Windows 95 on CD-ROM disc, there is a directory called OTHER\OLDMSDOS on the disc and located in this directory is expand.exe. Copy expand.exe from this directory to any location in the path statement to make it available for expanding the Newton file.

    Microsoft Technical Support said if you have Windows 95 on floppy disks, you can copy expand.exe from another computer. This is not a copyright violation since it is included on the Compact Disc version of Windows 95.
