It would seem then that *some* programmes which create the .inf files are
not using the standard that you expect. Some of the files have the word
"locked" in them also:
$.FORM80 2800 2804 Locked CRC= 6594
This example is from the same ZIP archive of the welcome disc. How do I get
around this problem?
