Michael,
I just had a long day reformating my hard drive after downloading
CHINAC.LZH (games library) and trying to run the program. When I tried to
run the program from ram: by clicking on the icon I got the message that
couldn't find a "tool". The "tool" was IconX misspelled, so I changed the
tool to c:IconX using the information function on workbench. The game
didn't run but my system froze and on reboot I got the message that
preferences couldn't be found. Well I copied prefs form my 2.0 disk to my
hard drive and then things really got interesting. I had directory opus
and flipper (the bridge board program) iconified at the time of the
freeze. I realize that I may have compounded the problem by my efforts to
salvage the hard drive and that the whole problem may have been particular
to my system but I felt I should give a "heads up". Anyway I learned a lot
today!
David
