Cannot open bxx file

I've been to PAW's website and downloaded the most current version of BAINSTALL. I've followed the instructions I found on a search where you save the file to your computer (don't change the file name), click "open with" and browse to the Windows folder, choose BAPRINT, except the file still does not open.

I've been fiddling with this for an hour and still cannot open the file! I'm getting the following message:

"Unknown file format or file not found"

Ask the provider of the file to send you the file in PDF format. Sometimes, the BXX file is malformed (usually missing the header) and BAPrint doesn't know what to do with it.

I did finally send an e-mail asking for the processor to scan to pdf and re-send. I think I also saw messages about the missing header - it's all a blur now since I've been working on it for so long. Glad to know I'm not doing it all wrong! Thanks, Paul!

Try the new 3.1 version

I just uploaded the correct 3.1 version to my website (BAINSTALL31.EXE). That may do the trick.
