    Interesting.

    I found a copy from archives.thebbs.org, but I had a little trouble
    getting the setup.exe to cooperate. "not a wn32 program" error. Bad
    archive? Maybe the archive is listed somewhere else to try?

    I'd say the installer is 16 bit, if you're trying to install it on a Win64 system. There were 16 bit installers around in those days.


    It could be a combination of something else too. Meanwhile, I tried all
    the recommendations: running as admin, or trying another compatibility
    mode in my WinXP. No go.

    For some things fido, the future has stopped. :(
