In Win95 (not sure about 98) just type the filename in quotes in the
save dialog:
filename.ps -> filename.ps. + default extension
"filename.ps" -> filename.ps

The files you want are most likely compressed in the .CAB archives on
the CD. You should be able to extract them using
-the EXTRACT.EXE command line utility (installed with Win95 and I
presume Win98)
-the Cabinet Viewer applet included in Win95 PowerToys
-WinZip 7.x
Somewhere there's a list of which file is in which .CAB, but I don't
know where.

I have a small LAN (10 Base T ethernet) at home sharing a cable modem. I am
running IPNetRouter on a B/W G3 Mac (many thanks to this group for leading
me to this effective & economical solution) .
My girlfriend is about to buy a Pentium III box. Will she be able to see the
new P III only web sites after going through NAT on the G3?

OOhh! Dim memories bubble to the surface (not unlike swamp gas ;-) That list
is on MS's online tech support. I have run across it many times while looking
for what I _really_ wanted there.
OT: I'd really like to figure out how MS's techweb works someday...I can
usually find the information I want, but it's usually in the 135th document
retrieved; the docs that their server flags as most relevant are usually
really far off from what I'm looking for. Until I finally started looking at
the 3rd or 4th page of results I used to give up and go to AltaVista or orther
search sites to see if someone else figured it out.

I like to search dejanews first (www.dejanews.com). They archive the
msnews.* groups and searches will often reveal a post which lists the
relevent MS Knowledge base articles and their numbers, saving the trek which
you describe. This has been a very valuable source of help with Exchange
problems.

Listers:
This is not a great question, but one that has bugged me a lot about
windows (the app).
It is extremely easy to find what you are looking for on a Mac.
>From the Finder Desktop just hit the command/F key combination.
When the "Sherlock" or "Find File" application comes up, type in a piece
of the name (better than the whole name) of what you are looking for and
Vol=E1, you've found it in the resulting list.
Since the Find File has many of the same features as the Finder itself,
you can double click, get info, drag to trash, etc . . . from the list
window. Or you can double-click (Open) the folder that contains the
application or file you are looking for.
The Question (revealing my ineptness with windows):
What are some caveats or similar ways to find things in Windows?
I'm looking for something (a surefire analogy) that will help me
mentally to picture how this system works. It seems to me that this
system tries to prevent you from finding what you are looking for. I
think this difficulty must be beneficial in some office environments
(keeps employees from snooping), but it is detrimental to a one man show
-- as many Mac Users are.

Setting up different profiles, with different address books and personal
folders for each user is the way we do it here.
The profile is set up to access specific inboxes, folders and address books
according to user. A prompt is requested upon opening the application to
choose a specific profile, protected with a password, then the logon to the
specific server is available.
Works for us, using Exchange or Outlook on the Mac.

I don't see why not...after all those sites are querying the machine
through the browser, not anything else.

John:
Try using the right mouse button in various contexts.
In this case, right-click on the start button in the lower left corner.
Then choose find. You will have all kinds of find options just like
you have on
the mac.

Hi Kelly and others,
An equivalent to "Find File" in "Windoze"? Go to the Start Menu,
choose "Find", then "Files or Folders". The "Find: All Files" window
appears, with the "Name & Location" tab selected. In the "Named:"
field, you type some part of the name of the file, and just
underneath there's a "Look in:" field, which will usually contain
"(C:)" at first. Here you can either type a path/drive of your own,
or activate the submenu to choose another drive. Selecting "My
Computer" in the submenu would be like selecting "on all disks" on
the Mac. The "Browse..." button works the same way, except that it
includes the entire hierarchy, from the Desktop to the Control Panels
to the Recycle Bin. The "Browse..." button is also good for
selecting specific folders on specific drives.
Click on the "Date Modified" and "Advanced" tabs, and you should be
able to figure the rest out from there, as it's very similar to "Find
File" on the Mac. I'm not too familiar with Sherlock myself.
Does the degree of difficulty you're having go deeper than this, or
have I said too much?
Peace,
Bob

The experience I've had with it and an NT proxy has been a negative one.
We couldn't get it to feed on the other side of the proxy. That's about
it.
