Hi! I have on a Win3.1 setup a broken group file called MAIN.GRP and need to replace it. If you can give me a copy, please post here, and I'll give you my e-mail address. :)

I expect that you can extract it from the instillation disks.

If not, you can recreate it anew and populate it with new icons.

I looked but didn't find it.

That would be a lot of work, but it's okay because I just remembered I have another Win16 setup and can extract the file from it. :) I just need to change all the C:\'s to M:\. :(

Remember that it won't be named mail.grp on the installation disks.

If it exists*, it'll likely be named main.gr_. Try searching for mail.*.

It might not exist. It may be created and populated as part of the
installation process.

I don't remember how many icons are in the group. I didn't think it was
that many.

I know that. I couldn't find MAIN.GR_ o the installation disks. :(

There are only a few, but I might have added some icons to the group before it broke. :(
