I knew that they could be unzipped following the whole blowup regarding the M$ release of their kerberos stuff (they stuck their licence in the extracting thingy - At least I think it was Kerberos)


It does stop people being able to click and browse (such as the IE 
plugins that allow the pdf to become part of the website.

Thanks for the monitor recommendations - I shall have a thorough look. 
I was exceedingly disappointed by the Mitsubishi monitor I bought.

This is the response I got from my complaint to Iiyama.

 
Please be advised that we do not wish to make it difficult to obtain data sheets on our products, we have not received any such complaint before regarding the .exe files.

Please let me know which products you are interested in and I will forward them on accordingly as pdf or text files - whichever you would prefer.

Apologies for the inconvenience.


Kind regards
