[DeTomaso] Help needed: Mike Drew can't seem to read the Pantera articles I've sent on disk

[Asa Jay Laughton]

That's probably true, it might not be readable across different Windows 
systems either, such as Win 7 to XP or 98 or 64-bit v. 32-bit.  Always 
best to close the CD if you are going to send/give/loan to someone else.
