Let me suggest an alternative method (at least it works with Windows 95).  The
Blitzin interface for the ICC has an option "save game as pgn."  Hit that and
make up a file name (e.g. "icc.pgn").  Then go into Windows Explorer, and your
Blitzin folder should have the file you just created.  Using Windows Explorer,
transfer that file into the folder for Fritz.  Open Fritz and, once you've done
that, hit "open" and select the file you've created.  You can then copy the
contents of that file into whatever other file you want (a good idea, because
pgn files take up more room on your hard drive than chessbase files).  When you
play on the ICC again, follow the same procedure, and when you transfer the new
pgn file to the Fritz folder, it will prompt you to replace the old pgn file
with the new one.
