It looks like the EXE is simply a 7-Zip self-extracting program, which will run under Wine (or should certainly run in Windows XP). It contains a DOS FLASH891.EXE program, a s651mprz.f8 file (you may be able to use this with Q-Flash, in the BIOS: see the manual for details), and a simple autoexec.bat. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail: james@ | A wood-pigeon would, If a wood-pigeon could, aprilcottage.co.uk | But a wood-pigeon can’t, So it won’t. | A wood-pigeon could, If a wood-pigeon would, | But a wood-pigeon doesn’t want to.
