    characters.

    and last name, and a password if you are a registered
    user. If you haven't registered with us, you can logon

    are stored and transferred in an archived (compressed) format
    and need to be unarchived before they can be used.

    download PKZ204G.EXE from your favorite local BBS and execute it.
    You'll receive PKUNZIP and PKZIP utilities. To unarchive
    the RabbitHelp file, type PKUNZIP and then the name of the
