Yep, I do run late nights, sometimes to dawn. My real job is computer game development, so its not all that bad 🙂 Expand is a program that I guess is available from the DOS directory. I never used it before Jamie's walkthrough, so I am not so sure of its history. I normally use other compression tools. I'd really rather have Jamie deal with the specifics, but the file is there and it should be evident what to do. I had some similar flakiness with inability to load PRJ's, ANI's, etc except for library import and composition until we reviewed the ParInit line mentioned in the manual. I missed the "/" in "/WIN=" and that messed things up. I suppose one should also insure they have the latest software drivers just to be sure. For everyone else, I mentioned finding MC2217A drives for $609.95 in San Jose. I actually jumped on that to insure I had a twin to my other MC2217A, in concern that IDE 1.7Gb drives may become scarse. I do openly wonder if any manufacturer will develop a higher capacity IDE rated for PAR or if eventually DPS will need to update to support SCSI. Those 9Gb drives are looking very tempting! — Karl
