NT didn't recognise the self -extracting file format.

I'm going to run it on an old Compaq 486 that has been lying around here
looking for a job, I've just put a fresh DOS installation on it, and
installed the emulator. I was making images and learning how to drive the
software. I'll take the machine to work with me tomorrow and hook it up to
the 11/23.
