Mark, I just d'ld DMS201.SFX and tried to extract it. Process went smoothly just by typing its name in the shell. I tried using the WB and double-clicking on the tool icon (show all files), clicked on OK in the execute command… gadget and it extracted it again. I guess you got a bum download, Christopher
