The only new, to me, thing, was the file
extension, .iso, of the download... TheOpenCD-3.1.iso

It's a file image of a CD ; the standard which most CDs follow for storing data is
defined from the good ol' ISO ... and I'm having a temporary brain-fade on the standard
number - 6960 ? Is a temporary brain fade on an ISO standard number acceptable on Sunday
morning?

It didn't work; I got the black command screen with, for a second or two the
flashing dash then the command screen disappeared. That's where I left it and first
posted you.
Now I wonder if perhaps those .exe files have to be tackled differently?

The current version of TOCD builds a unix-alike operating environment as it's
executing it's startup code. Probably your windows environment is missing some elements of
that environment - not-set environment variables for example.
Just burn the CD, and install from that. I actually keep a couple of re-writable
CDs in my briefcase with the current version on them, and on the rig I just give people
the discs. "If you don't like it, you still get to keep the RW. If you do like it, copy
the disc and give it to a friend. And it is totally legal. TOTALLY!"

[This mechanics of downloading, checking, etc isn't really R.G.G territory.]
I found myself thinking this before I sent that first post; but thought you'd home
in on whatever was the missing bit since the TheOpenCD d/l procedure is familiar to you.

Let's carry this on in "the other place".
