Paul,

I received the ACRE NL CD.  Thanks.

How do I read these e-mail files with Netscape?  I have version 4.06
for Windows.  My
Netscape stores the data file and some kind of corresponding index file
both in the
same directory.  The files on your CD have hidden files.

You need to copy it into
the Netscape "nsmail" directory (or folder) and Netscape will index
it and list it on the left Messenger panel under Local Mail. The path
and name of this folder could vary in Windows. Perhaps Russell or
some one
else could help us on the Windows exact path version of NS.

If one takes the defaults when one installs Netscape, then the path
will be very
similar to:
C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\r_kent\Mail
The difference being "r_kent" will be whatever the user's Netscape mail
account
name is.

If one does not take the defaults when installing Netscape, then the
directory
could be nearly anywhere...

Paul,
I have found it very difficult to install and view it in Netscape as well.
In fact, I never did install it all, as it was too much trouble. We went
thru this in the past. I think you need to rethink the format of displaying
that CD's information.

It is easy once you find the proper directory or folder in Windows speak
to store it in. It is all automatic as Netscape email recognizes it as just 
another folder.

Since you are using this email program and not Netscape email all bets are off.
X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1

Netscape is absolutely required. No doubt about it.

Rumor has it that it also works in Internet explorer but I have personally
not tried it. also I have never tried it with a Mac.
