To Betty Clay 76702,337 I have used XModem to download file lha138.run. All appears to have gone well in so far asa it got to the end, but one error was noted as CRC error at block 282. Does this make the file unuseable? I have transferred it to my dh1 for now without further action.e

Peter, When you see an error, it means that the sending computer has had to re-send a block to the receiving computer because of some error. If you see only one or two of these, your file should be fine. If there are very many, it is best to stop and start over. Now that you have LHA138.RUN, copy it to ram: Then, CD RAM: Then type: LHA138.RUN When the activity stops, type: COPY LHA C: (That puts it in your commands directory, always ready for use.) Then, copy the doc files to a floppy or convenient spot on your hard drive. You're doing fine! —Betty

Thank you again. You gave me this info previously but I did not act on it yet due to the <error> possible. I will do so tomorrow then try Comp.B to get the Autopilot download.

Peter, < I have used XModem to download file lha138.run. All appears to have gone well in so far asa it got to the end, but one error was noted as CRC error at block 282. Does this make the file unuseable?> Best way to find out is to try unpacking it. Copy LHA138.run to ram:, cd to ram: and type lha138.run If the archive is ok it will unpack itself. You should copy LHA to your C: directory and read the docs. If the file isn't alright it won't unpack and you should try downloading it again. I'd suggest using Ymodem or CISB (or better, B+) instead of Xmodem if you have to d/load it again. Good luck! Asha @}–,–`–
