I also have the truncated FILE79 on the copy I received, and I think
that the problem is that the archive itself got cut off in the middle
of the file FILE79, which means that any file alphabetically after
FILE79 would be lost: any README files, files with ordering
information for the PC-Hypertext creation software, and, since I can't
see how CNTRL.COM could handle the hypertext, the actual PC-Hypertext
display program.

What we need is for someone to offload the PC-Hypertext archive from
Compu$erve again, check it to make sure it's all there, and post it
again.
