Try downloading the program from:
http://thelittlesite.co.za/kq1.htm
If you unzip the files and then copy the files into a
directory -- and he largest single file is only 196K -- the
program will run. Also, there is a batch file included that
is entitled _install.bat, which appears to be the
installation file used with the original 1 or 2 disk
version. The file indicates that in the 2 disk version,
everything except the vol.2 file was on disk 1.
Hope this helps.
