Go into the directory where the file Spec.exe or val.exe is RIGHT click on it and your create a shortcut that you can drag to the desktop.

John,

Make a separate folder for these DOS programs (e.g. a folder named Validator, or a folder named Spec160 for that version of Spec). Copy the ZIP file containing the software to the appropriate folder then extract from the ZIP to the folder. (Here's a post on extracting files from a ZIP: http://bindfold.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5479&postcount=5) (http://bindfold.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5479&postcount=5%29).

To create a Desktop shortcut, find the program file (e.g. Val3c.exe or SPEC160.exe, right-click it, select Send To, then Desktop - and a shortcut to the program will appear on your Desktop.
