went there and can not find it afile name and a drirect lik would be nice

Be careful about this QSLeCard, I downloaded it and found an extra
extension.
The file is named QSLeCard.zip.exe - I send it to the virus vault.
The file size is 355.25 kb. and not 1.3 Mb like the author says.

Ken-

Some zipped files are combined with an un-zip program in order to be
self-extracting. You could try using PKUNZIP, but specifying the entire
filename including the .exe. If it is a self-extracting Zip, that
should unpack it without any danger of infecting your computer.

OK Fred,

Usually when I do see a hidden extension like that, red flags go up.
Just habit, I guess.
The virus scanner caught it first.

Thanks Fred.
