I appreciate the responses folks. Unfortunately, the QuickTime upgrade
didn't help any. Run executable on the CD-ROM, and nada. System(s) don't
crash, but nothing happens, not even an attempt to run the executable
and nothing shows up in the Task Manager for either machine after
running it. Same results on the WinNT and Win2k machines. Not a big loss
financially, but I liked the content on it and wanted to print some more
of the documentation like the scale plans, the tanker uniforms, the
basic loads, OVM load outs, etc., etc. Drat it all...
I even searched and visited the website (www.absolute-als.com)
referenced in the README documentation for
the CD-ROM. It doesn't exist. More accurately, it exists, but there's no
content on it, not even the company name (and these are multimedia
producers?). Visited the Tamiya website to search for these CD-ROMs, and
couldn't find them there either. Tamiya helped produce them or at the
least put their name and logo on them. It's as if the company released
these CD-ROMs and just disappeared...
All in all, it's disappointing. I had hoped more CD-ROMs would follow on
various other vehicles. I now have a CD-ROM chock full of reference I
can't use...Drat it all...did I say that already?
Regards,
Steve
