Marvin:
If you have the time, decompress the archive on your PC and burn the CD.
Save yourself the hearache and time it would take to decompress that
monster on the IIgs. Besides teh fact that the zip archive will not
extract itself to a IIgs. Intel CPU code does not run on a Motorola
processor in the IIgs. Of course I dunno id the MSDOS FST will read IBM
CDs...
Good luck.
