The Module 6 lesson files have been compressed and archived into a single zip file which can be downloaded to your computer using Netscape (but not all browsers), or via anonymous ftp and unzipped using pkunzip or WinZip software.

Firstly, we suggest that you create a directory called winbilko on your hard disk and within this directory create a subdirectory called module6. Then download the module files to the latter subdirectory and unzip them there. The files for the Introduction to Bilko for Windows and the On-line Introductory Tutorials are the same as for Module 7.
