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?
