Well it installed and ran on my WinXP laptop. I did have to gunzip the data file, but that's a known issue. There's probly a LF/CR problem with the Tips of the Day since it seems ever other one is blank. I haven't dug into it real heavily, but it looks pretty good at first blush. It is slow to start, and a DOS window displays on the desktop all the time, but I'm not sure if you can do anything about that or not... Good work!
