ctty problems in win 95

I seem to be missing the mode.com file. does anyone know where i can get this?

Did you check in your C:\Windows\Command directory ?
If it really is not there, then you have good chances to find it in the archive Win95_13.cab from the Win95 directory of your Windows 95 setup CD (at least, that's where it is for Windows 95 B with USB support, french version).
