R-beta: executable problem

[Francisco Cribari]

Same thing here. I had the same problem under Windows NT but not
under Windows 95. The executable in exe.zip works fine on my
notebook which runs on Win 95 but not on my desktop which runs
on Windows NT. Any ideas why? Best, Francisco.

     I would like to get an education, but it may be too late:
     I already have my doctorate.
