Module 4 was originally distributed on five diskettes. The files of all five diskettes have been compressed and archived into a "zip" file called module04.zip which can be downloaded to your computer using a browser or via anonymous ftp and unzipped using pkunzip or WinZip software or directly extracted using Windows Explorer in recent versions of Windows.

Firstly, we suggest that you create a folder called "DOS Bilko" on your hard disk and download the module04.zip file to the this folder and unzip it there.

The files are archived in a series of folders with all the image and other files required for each lesson in folders Lesson01 to Lesson07. The files for the Introduction are in the folder of that name and a pdf version of the Module 4 manual is included in the Documentation folder. A Russian translation of this module with an additional 6 lessons in Russian on the Baltic Sea was produced by Dr Vitaly Sytchev of the Russian State Hydrometeorological University in St Petersburg. This can also be downloaded.
