Unpack it with what? I tried PKUNZIP (from DOS), PKXARC (from DOS), WinZIP
(from Win NT 4.0). Looking at IBMAFP15.EXE with QuickView shows a
description of "SOFTWARE INSTALLER 5622-056 (C) COPYRIGHT IBM CORP. 1989,
1995. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. LICENSED MATERIALS - PROPERTY OF IBM." a module
name of "EZ2STUB" and operating system "Microsoft/IBM OS/2".

Open a DOS window and unpack it there, from the command line.  (No, I don't
use a mouse either! :-)   Be aware that unpacking it will create a bunch of
files in your current directory.  I usually create a directory like
AFPDriver, move the .exe there and then unpack it.  Then I can easily clean
it all up without having to figure out what files came from where...
