Program Compatibility Wizard

[Jane Lawson]

Hi,

Trying to run an older program that previously worked iwth win. 3.0 or 3.1.
Says it can't find the C:\DOS\Doshelp.hlp file, so it doesn't load properly.
I've tried to use the Program Com. Wiard to help with the compability
settings, but of course as Murphy would have it, when I run it, I get a url
script error and can't. What next?? Should I attempt a manual compatibilty
changes?
