Bill – I forgot that CIS truncates uploaded file names to 6 characters without warning. When you post my first upload of this evening, could you change the name? I tried to name it "WUTIL32.ZIP". If the name has been truncated so the 32 is incomplete, please rename it "WUTL32.ZIP", so that the version number is intact. Also, when this upload is posted and verified (one or more users reporting success), I strongly suggest deleting WUTIL 3.12, which does not work under MS-DOS 3.10b, and which has documentation incorrectly suggesting that it does (wasted a lot of time of forurm members and almost caused Steve Sheftic to either jump out the window or throw his RB out).

Willett, Thanks! I will most certainly not be the one who tests this thing to ensure that the upload works and that the program works OK, but I have forwarded your note so that BillL and Carl will be aware of it. -Bill

I tried to jump out the window but missed and hit the wall. I get my bandages off tomorrow. My rainbow and I are pals again. Steve

Glad you've recovered. Did you try the new WUTIL (v 3.2). It works great under 3.10b, and allows those bigger partitions you were lusting for.
