Aha! You hit the nail on the head!

I just double-clicked that NU8.EXE file in Windows Explorer and, sure enough, it opened a command prompt window and ran PKUNZIP and tried to start extracting all the component files all over again.

So, we're back on track! Thanks for that tip!

Now, I'm going back to your earlier message to make sure I understand your instructions.
