Is it my imagination or is the new R13c3 CDROM missing files? I came across at least 2 absent files during a NEW installation (not an upgrade). These were: \ACADDOS\README.ADS and: \ACADWIN\EDOC\BIN\PRINDLG.DLL I was able to fake it out by copying the CD-ROM directory tree to a 100 MB ZIP drive, creating the README.ADS file where it was looking for it,and then switching back to the CD-ROM. When it came to the DLL file, I quit because it was necessary to run AutoCAD itself and the install would be worthless. I've heard of successes in UPGRADING to c3 from c0, but the documentation that came with the mailing said that this disk was also capable of a fresh install. What gives? Any input from anyone would be highly appreciated. Jeff Bradley Axis 3D Graphics and Animation

All, To be fair and clear the record, I must say that the mistake was mine. I was running SETUP from the serialized floppy disk instead of the CD-ROM. The must call different files. Once I coreected my mistake, all was well. I know, I know…RTFM! Jeff Bradley
