I wonder if we can get a ruling on this from StriaghtEdge?
Is a "pant" what you get when you rip a pair of trousers in half? ... anyway ... I would have assumed it was part of a disk archive collection, and you need to start unzipping them with the one that does not have a number in the extension, or possibly 00 or 01 in the name as mentioned earlier. You should start unarchiving the one without the numbers, or that looks different from all the rest first and see if that works. They should all be in the same directory. Some people still compress things up into floppy or smaller sized archives for "easy" downloading. This was really popular when Bulletin Boards and dial up connections were fashionable (They still are cool, in a very geeky fashion)

If you have win7 pro you can download and install Windows XP Mode and run the game from within it.
