sounds like the archive got restamped from FTP or something... possibly even by
someone updating the archive comment or similar... here's the specs on the one
i have...
BUPD124A.RAR, 16736 bytes 06-22-1994
it was delivered here 09-29-1997 and contains the following...
BUPDATE DOC 2391 06/22/94 12:45 5857 BEST
BUPDATE EXE 13835 12/19/93 02:42 24326 BEST
the first number is the compressed size and the second is the actual
uncompressed size...
BB> Argh!! nothing is ever simple!!
wierd... very wierd... i'll admit, its been a long time since i applied the
patches... AIR, i had installed the originals and then just ran the patch
program with the patch file a few days later...
so, did you get the patches all done or do you need someone to email the final
.EXEs to you? i've all of them here...
