creating my own FT SSD's--need help

Am looking for some help in creating my own  FT SSD's using the shipbits
like in the books,but dont know how.

I have Windows XP with Paint and some shipbit zip files from Beth Fulton
(thanks!)--any way to utilize these to make my own SSD's?

I tried a couple of the programs to do this but cannot get them to
work--sont know if I am doing something incorrectly,or noit at all,but
have
not been able to figure it out--any help from listers is appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark Drake
