I just downloaded the GPLD demo. Number 1- Confused/concerned that I did not download a zip file, but rather a single 12.7mb file titled "GPLDEMO.exe". When I try to launch this file from windows explorer (I am running W95), it launches an MSDOS Window and gives me a message stating, "THIS PROGRAM CANNOT BE RUN IN DOS MODE" What gives, I waited 1.5 hours to download this?? Not a clue as to why this is happening. I have never had problems with Sierra/Papyrus software or downloads in the past. Want to drive the GLEN!!! Please help!!!

It's supposed to be an EXE, but it sounds like you downloaded a corrupted copy (most likely either you or the person that uploaded it did so in ASCII rather than Binary mode). -- Eric T. Busch
