Prerequisites

an INF viewer; included in OS/2 (view.exe)

To read this file under other operating systems (e.g. Windows) you need an INF Viewer for your operating system.

A possible view program for Windows 3.1 (and newer Windows versions) is

    oview.exe

You can find oview.exe here:

    http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/windows/win_inf.zip (about 1,3 MB)

You only need the files

    ipf.dll
    libipfx.dll
    oview.exe 

from the file ov_demo.zip inside of win_inf.zip. It should be possible to decompress them without installing the demo - but I don't know how (I'm not so familar with Windows).

Other sources for a Windows viewer are

    http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/windows/iview.zip (about 190MB, for Win32)
