I considered that it may be marked as the wrong type, especially knowing 
the source, but I've tried two other .pps files "locate" finds in my 
computer and the don't open either?  It's not a major thing, often such 
problems clear up with another update.

Not to worry, I usually get up around 03:00, a victim of BPH!  A good
