Ah, but I didn't :-)
I remember spending ages figuring out all the DOS commands on my first
PC, I still have some of the "programs" I wrote when I was 10, such as
interactive bootdisk makers that search your computer for the right
drivers etc :-)

Well, I followed Alison's instructions to the letter but every time I
ran the "install" program from the DOS prompt it just said "bad command
or file name" about 8 times and stopped.
I figured out that the problem was with the "path" setting in my
autoexec.bat. On her site, Alison writes that the pkunzip utility has to
be placed in your "path" directory, as specified in autoexec.bat. This
is usually C:\ or C:\Windows, so I just put pkunzip in my C:\ folder and
left it.
However, in my autoexec.bat file, the path was specified as "C:\program
files\mts\", and not C:\, so the installer couldn't find pkunzip.
I changed the path line to read:
PATH=C:\;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\program files\mts
Now, the directory where I had put pkunzip was specified in the PATH
setting, so the track installer could find it. I rebooted and it worked
perfectly.

I THOUGHT I was following the directions exactly, but I was trying to use my
existing NetZip. I'd never run into instructions before that called for a
specific "unzipper."
I'll give your steps a try -- and follow them EXACTLY, of course! ;-)
