Does anyone know what version of BB this is? I have a version from the beginning of the yr, and would rather not take the time to download the same program again. Folks, putting version info in the subject line makes life much easier on us - as does putting the machine requirement on it. -- Larry W.

Good enough question, however, I would like to address an earlier
question, "has anyone got this darn thing to work?" If so, please
tell us dummies how to do it. I've downloaded it twice on the
asumption that there was some sort of weird problem with the
first, however, both copies act the same:
1. I select the sys16 file from the finder
2. There is much moaning and groaning from the disk drive
3. Eventually, the drive stops and I'm back at my original finder
screen.
Does all this come about because I don't have some crucial tool on
my HD?
Also, there was a not that disks 2 & 3 would come the next
day. Disk two has shown up here while disk 3 has not.
Any help appreciated.

Um, I think the diisk is self booting. I'm almost positive that it requires System Disk 4.0 to run, but I also have a feeling that it's a self booting disk, which means you a) don't have to have two systems installed on your HD but b) miss out on fast loading from the HD. Anyway, I'm basically rambling as the news server doesn't like posting messages where there is only a small amount of new text. All I really wanted to say is try booting the disk by itself and see if that helps.... Jonah >
