Re: newbie can't install packages from floppy
Hello,
I have downloaded the Files for the nfs-server with WfW 3.11
and short flie names. Then I have kreated a file TRANS.TLB
and have installed my stuff from floppy with dselect...
This works with SLINK but I have problems with POTATO.
Try it, it works
