I got the editor installed/working! (aruggeri's DW8000)

I was looking for a free editor for the DW8000, and found aruggeri's editor: http://www.aruggeri.com/web2001/software.asp Unfortunately, when I tried to install it (on Windows ME) I ran setup.exe, and it couldn't extract the files properly. It's no longer supported, so I figured out how to make it work on my own. Here's how to make it work: Manually expand all the files that end with an underscore. I used expand.exe which wasn't on my WinME machine, but was on my Win98 machine. (Maybe there's something in WinME that can expand them but I don't know what.) Here are the file extensions: All .VB_ files should be expanded to .VBX All .DL_ files should be expanded to .DLL All .EX_ files should be expanded to .EXE All .SY_ files should be expanded to .SYS All .HL_ files should be expanded to .HLP All .TX_ files should be expanded to .TXT You run expand.exe from a command prompt. If you don't know the syntax just run "expand /?" for help. After expanding the files, run SETUP1.EXE (instead of SETUP.EXE.) It needs to see the original compressed files, too, but evidently after a failed attempt to decompress the files, it proceeds to use the ones you expanded manually. Hope this helps someone else! I just got a DW8000, and the editor makes it much easier to create new patches.
