SUMMARY
=======
When you use the EXPAND.EXE utility that comes with Microsoft Windows version
3.0, you may get the error message
Can't Open Output File : <filename.ext>
when you attempt to expand a file. This error occurs when you try to replace a
previous copy of a file that has been set with the read-only attribute. By using
the MS-DOS Attrib command, or by going into the File Manager and choosing Change
Attributes from the File menu, you can change the file attributes back to
read/write. You will then be able to expand the file and successfully replace
the original.
MORE INFORMATION
================
For more information about using the EXPAND.EXE utility, see the README.TXT file
