Dear Colleagues:

I would like to thank Alec McAllister for this critical correction.
I, of course, cross-posted the message directly from H-RUSSIA, in
view of its importance. The error was in the original.

It is precisely this absence of an "L" (in its lower-case form "l"
in the word "Softlib," that is, "Softib" instead of "Softlib" (a very
difficult proofreading error in view of the close similarity between
lower-case "t" and lower-case "l" ) that made it impossible for me to
find the file in the first-place and that prompted me to locate it
step by step hierarchically, going down each directory as I explained
in my detailed, step-by-step instructions to the list.

I apologize for not noticing the error, but I must claim innocence as
to the error itself. I will send this letter back to H-RUSSIA with
Mr. McAllister's correction.

If you double-click on the correct URL, the one with the
"Softlib" in the Microsoft address, you should be able to get the
file directly.

No one should be without this absolutely critical file, so here is
the correct address again:

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/WIN95Y2K.EXE

A slight typo here. There is an L in /Softlib/ :
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/WIN95Y2K.EXE
