Steve,
I checked both machines and they have the .chm files associated with
MS HTML Help.exe so that should be OK. Also, thanks for the note on
the file size. That difference probably accounts for it, but it seems
the AmiB site should mention that differences in file size are
possible to avoid confusion.
Also, I saw where Peter is having the same problem and, evidently, has
been unable to find any solution. It's a shame because I'm sure
there's a lot of good information in the files.
Again, thanks for the assistance.
Wayne
