I downloaded the seven smaller files via Navigator 4.05 (on a Win95
machine) fron CNET and didn't have any problems with the install.

I had a problem with running "gunzip gui0*" which I haven't had time
to look into (I think it gave me  an "invalid format" message).  I
ended up gunzipping  each file individually without any problems.
