Thanks,

I had downloaded these files a few weeks ago in two versions (for my
wife's 3.1 Windows for Workgroups, which is the file you refer to, and
my plain ole 3.1).  When I saw the glitch in File Manager after midnite
on 1/1/:0 I used those downloaded files on both machines and it cleared
File Manager's reporting to read 1/1/00.
