Re: [Eclass-users] Two new EClass versions for testing

[BJ C. <ca...@tu...>]

Hi Kevino,

Regarding the Parquesoft version of EClass:

I extracted the file eclass_parquesoft.zip and ran the editor.exe file, I
got the opening screen, selected English and clicked  "Ok".

Nothing happened.
Am I suppose to extract the file to a specific location?


I tried this on Windows XP Pro and Win98, same result.

Thanks,

BJ
