NTREIS Build 154 Disk Images

   Windows 3.1x users, use Windows File Manager.
   • Note: If you need to determine what version of Windows you are using, see: How to Determine your Windows Version
2. Click File | New | Folder.
3. The Contents pane of Windows Explorer should say:
   • Contents of '... (C:)'
   where ... is the volume label of your C: drive. Type PCATEMP for the name of the new folder Windows Explorer created on your C: drive.
4. Download the disk image self-extracting archive files to the C:\PCATEMP on your hard disk. Build 154 requires three diskettes, so click on the following three links to download three self-extracting archives.

   Download the Build 154 Update Disk 1 Self-Extracting Archive

   Download the Build 154 Update Disk 2 Self-Extracting Archive

   • Note: These are WinZip self extracting files that will extract the contents of the disk image self-extracting archive files to 3.5" diskettes.
   When you finish, you should have three disks that contain the update files for Build 154.
