I downloaded it, and couldn't get it to work. It always said there was an
error.....maybe it was just my computer.

Hey, I don't have the memory space to
try it--  how well does the converter work??
Should it be listed in the FAQ???

Remember Colin--  I'm the technically challenged one in the group...
I'm learning...    I share the computer with my
family-- they have a lot of programs on it--  I can't just
wipe out their stuff.   Thanks for the tips though...

I feel sorry for you on that note. I like being able to delete stuff when I
don't want it anymore. I used to be in a situation like yours though.

I can't understand these comments you have been making about not having
enough space or memory to run such small programs.  :-(

If you really have used up all your memory then you have to weed out
some of your TSR resident programs and drop them to clear memory and
reactivate them later when you really need to use them. You can have
oudles of memory space being taken up by TSRs ( Programs that Terminate
but Stay Resident thereby soaking up your memory unnecessarily ) that you
never use any more...screen savers and screen capture programs etc.

The bottom line is that you have to release memeory somewhere to run
things you want to run even if the release is only temporary.

That's hard to believe considering that you managed to produce the

Well, as I said in another posting, I met that situation myself when 
using a 256K RAM PC/XT and only 12Mb of hard disk space to play with 
because the other 8Mb of space belonged to someone else. 

My solution was...and still is...lotsa floppy disks and avoid using
Windoze like it was a deadly virus devouring memory and hard disk 
space. Some folks say it actually is a virus created by Bill Gates.

Windoze is really nothing more than a bloated DOS shell interface!  
My DOS shell, FileViewer, takes a mere 13,642 bytes of my hard disk 
space but Windoze takes a staggering 20.5 Megabytes!  

Furthermore my DOS shell uses up only 14,128 bytes of memory and DOS
itself takes 27,712 byte of memory leaving me 502,096 bytes of free 
memory. I don't know how much of that remainder Windoze gobbles up
but enough yo stop me using any sound on DOS-based games. :-(

I am forced to use Windoze to run Free Agent, and one or two games 
that will only run from Windoze...but that's all.

Oh no, no, I didn't...and...I think it was 5 kids?  :-)

_They_ were all fast asleep ( well almost all ) upstairs...whilst 
you had chance to make time and perhaps persuade another very 
influential member of the household that a new computer might be a 
good idea...real soon now?  :-)

My kids sleeping???  hahahaha--

And I think I will just go out and get myself
a new puter without even bothering the husband.
I've had it with this one... I can't even get my

You have a ZIP DISK with a 1.0 Gigabyte drive and Superdisks ???
And you still have not enough disk storage space? I only have
floppies with 360K to 1.2Mb per disk. No Zip drive or Zip disks.

It really sounds far more likely your problem is that the memory on
your computer itself is being completely choked and overloaded with
memory-gobbling Terminate-but-Stay-Resident software programs like
Windoze et al.

I can't see how a new computer is going to solve that scenario. 

What machine have you got at present?  Memory?  Hard disk size?

Ah well!  I have my 486DX with 16Mb RAM and 500Mb hard disk- a real 
luxury compared with a 0.25Mb PC/XT. :-) 

It's all relative!

Yes, I have a zip-- but the 3.5 drive is broken as is the
CD-ROM...  I keep nearly all of the ASCII pics on ZIP- but
most of the programs and games are on the hard drive.
TBH, I'm not sure what specs this machine does have-- it is a 486/33s and it is
used by the 6 of us.  It's about 10 years old.

>I can't see how a new computer is going to solve that scenario. 
The kids can then have this computer for their games...
My dh and I can have the other.  :)

Very true...  I'm not complaining-- I just have some limitations.

They are the same faces but on different bodies or body heights.

I suspect it was part of an exchange between yourself, Veronica, and
others about Babies or Rabbits because I found these pictures in my

It looks as though someone ( not me ) diddled your family picture
and added the baby to the other four children but why they would
go to the trouble of switching the heads to different bodies I
cannot figure out...I would not go to that trouble.

Perhaps your children have changed or are dressing differently to
fool you?

I think that last baby above has just seen one of those HTML-garbage
postings on your computer screen. HeHeHe.  *8-)

You might leave some of their smaller files, and delete a few of your more

To my knowledge (i hope I know what I`m buying!) zip disks are 100MB.
