I'm sorry, I keep forgetting which mail service does only HTML e-mail and
which ones allow you to choose straight ASCII text or HTML. As you say, on
Mr. Moberg's website there are two downloadable files, one is a true ISO
file, BL3.ISO which is CD-ROM burnable as is. The other is a image file of
BL2.10 which needs to be processed by MKISOFS to convert it to a burnable ISO
file. If you follow the thread in the BL mail archive you will find that
someone has already done this and posted the file for download. Thats why I
later posted a message saying "nevermind". I found that already converted
file and downloaded it. Works fine.
