Is there some way to retrieve my matlibs directory from the 3ds disk without reinstalling the whole program. I tried to install the 3ds2 under a different directory then my active 3ds. But I keep getting a message "The compressed file A:3dsw.pt2 has been damaged" tried to continue and got "Bad file number 0, Unable to close file c:\3ds2\3ds.exe" I hope this is due to the fact that I already have 3ds on the same machine. All I need is the 3ds.mli library. Yes I wiped mine out. Any info will be of great help. Thanks Carl/exit

It sounds like the 3dsw.pt2 file has been damaged on disk2. I'd recommend that you try installing the intel version to A SEPARATE subdirectory, just so you can get the 3ds.mli file. Then, move the 3ds.mli file over to your working matlibs subdirectory and nuke all the newly-installed stuff. – G

Gary, I've tried both versions,W & I, but keep getting the error message. These worked fine a month ago or so when I was updating to 2.01 and then had to reload 2.0 and then back to 2.01 again. But in that case I was just using the upgrade option on the install program not the full blown installation. My local dealer did the initial installation. Hmmm? Quess I'll be giving him a call. In the mean time if you think or any one has had this problem please let me know. Is there a file of the 3ds.mli on this forum I can down load. Thanks for all your help (everone), Carl

It sounds like disk 2 must've gotten corrupted, somehow. I've got a stock 3ds.mli on a tape backup around here somewhere, but it would take me a bit of time to dig it up (or I'd have to reinstall). I'm willing to go to the trouble if nobody else has a stock 3ds.mli handy, but I'd rather put the word out for some other good samaritan to zip their 3ds.mli up and email it on over to you first. If no luck by Tuesday night, give me a shout. – G

Carl, I'd be glad to upload a 3ds.mli to your E-Mail. Look for it this afternoon. Have a nice holiday, Alan Iglesias

Garyhe'd mail me the file. You guys sure help a lot. I wish there was something I could get you all for Christmas. Maybe a little Florida sun, or rain. We have plenty of both and even, sometimes, at the same time. Merry Holidays Carl Smith

Correct to above scambled message: Gary, Hold off for now on the 3ds.mli file, Alan Iglesias said he'd mail me one. You do enough as it is.
