Rolf, you have really gone the extra mile on this. Thank you so much. However, it looks like you have posted a path from your computer to the cab files that isn't on mine. Is it possible to post a link to the file or email it to me. Use [email protected] if you do. Also, where did you find the emulator manager that is shown on your web site. Thanks again for all of your efforts.
