I've just attempted to run Chaos after a year and a half "on the shelf." I get a very distasteful, "Packed File Is Corrupt" message when CHAOS.BAT attemts to run METASHEL.EXE. I vaguely remember running into this Corruption message in the dim past, but can't recall the specifics. Did it have sumpin' to do with SETVER? Heeelp!

Carl – You need to use the DOS LOADFIX command in front of metashel in the CHAOS.BAT file. There's a line that says: metashel /i Change that to: loadfix metashel /i You might want to back up your CHAOS.BAT file first.

LOADFIX did it–many thanks! Gee, those fractal mountains sure look better in 3DS than they ever did in Chaos!
