I just received my 4.11 update to DirectoryOpus. I have a checksum error on disk block 904 on the readme.doc.info file and a checksum error on disk block 1218 of the readme.doc file. Should I return the disk or can you download the above mentioned files via the forum? RJ……….on AutoPilot

Robert, It appears that Inovatronics placed a defective disc into the mass copier! My upgrade had the same problem. Fortunately only the readme.doc was damaged, and it is identical to a list of DOpus' new features somethere in this forums library. A bit sloppy, but easily fixed! // I'm gonna wait for \X/ the A5000! <G> -RSL-

I finally had a chance to try Hazy's DiskSalv 2.0 🙂 It will indeed fix it. –Paul < Motorola Inside >

Paul, It "sort of" fixes it. The problem isn't that your disc was corrupt, but that the master disc that INOVAtronics used to make all of our dupes was corrupted. You can salvaged a somewhat muddled partial list of new features from the damaged file, but for a complete list I suggest that you download it from their DL here on the AmigaVendor forum. // I'm gonna wait for \X/ the A5000! <G> -RSL-

Roy, I tried Quarterback Tools to try and fix the readme.doc file and QBT showed an error for the install program too. You have any trouble with the install program? RJ……….on AutoPilot

Robert, I believe that my install program was not damaged. WHat I did was used disksalve to get rid of the checksum errors (finding out that the readme and readme.info files were damaged, and then deleted the damamged files after the full installation. Unfortunately the bad file was available here in the DL area, so no harm was done (but INOVAtronics should have better quality assurance). // I'm gonna wait for \X/ the A5000! <G> -RSL-
