SHOWCASE IS OPEN
Message #152256

We are rearranging the forum, and I am moving files around, so I am using most of the available space. More space will be made available soon, probably tomorrow. Check your mail.
I downloaded some of the files you named, and was able to uncompress them and look at them without a problem. Please let me know what you find out.
This morning I DL'd several files totalling nearly 1 Meg and most are giving a "bad CRC" message when I attempt to unzip them. Is there anything wrong with the Libraries? —————- Not that I'm aware of; what files did you download?
It's available now. Dear Bob Henderson, I was notified that my upload NEWAGE.ZIP was missing a part. I have since created a new ZIP file with the same name and just uploaded it to lib 9. I will appreciate it Bob if you could make this fix available to the…
Oh, uh, that's right, Thanks, Joe, I'm sure it wasn't because WE lost it, it musta been CompuServe's fault! Didja hear that, Angelo? It wasn't my fault.

Chris – Yeah, I'll probably be back in some guise or other.
Jon – I found the file; it is called CADD.TXT. You probably will want to upload it in straight ASCII format, because not everyone will have WP in which to view it. Since this file describes an AutoCAD utility, you may want to post it on the AutoCAD Forum rather…
