Thanks for your help.
Still having problems. My version of Agent does decode them, but I
tried your instructions also.
I still have 97 separate files (m_n_m--------------mmm.com.7z.001
through 097 and the par2 file in my folder). When I run the par2
file, it shows all the blocks are there.
Same with your instructions.
I need to have an exe file so I can install Electric Quilt 5. How do
I get that?
Sorry - but I don't remember having these problems years ago.
I just don't understand.
