I haven't used DOS for so long I've forgotten the syntax
for using the functions. I want to use expand.exe to
expand some very old *.tt_ files to *.ttf. Can someone
out there remind me of how to do this, or if it's even
possible any more?

Hi

From a command prompt type 'expand /?' - without the quotes, although =
the .ttf files 'may' not function under XP.

Thanks for the quick response, Will. What about
specifying the locations of the *.tt_ and *.ttf files?
