Please read Bill's instructions on line (which also is not difficult to do......)
He is referring to overwriting and copying files, not replacing them. Guide8 does
not have a "guide9.exe" file and I certainly do not want to change the command on my
operating systems by renaming files at random.

His instructions infer that we are to change to "guide9.exe", not the other way
around.

Very ambiguous and frankly I am computer literate enough to be leary of changing
execute files without know the results.
