BETTY,THANKS FOR THE HELP WITH THE MONOPOLY DOWNLOAD AND EVEN THOUGH I'VE FOLLOWED YOUR INTRUCTIONS AND THE OTHER HELP OFFERED I STILL CANNOT GET THE PROGRAM TO RUN.THE ZOO UTILITY EXTRACTED THE MONOPOLY FILES BUT I CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME GET IT TO PERFORM. I DL'D ARC.EXE,ZOO201.ARC,I ARCED THE ZOO201,I ZOOD THE MONOPO.ARC,I DID THE ZOO X // DF1:MONOPO.ZOO BIT,I MADE A MONOPOLY ICON- IT DOES NOT PROVIDE A DRAWER ICON FOR ZOO.ALSO WHEN I TRY TO GET THE ZOO DIR I'M TOLD THAT ZOO IS A FILE NOT A DIRECTORY, BUT WHEN I TRY TO MAKEDIR ZOO, I'M TOLD ONE ALREADY EXISTS. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Anthony, First of all, will you please use lower case in your messages? All those caps are terribly hard to read. Thanks. Now, I think you unarced zoo into your root directory instead of making a directory for it and CD'ing to that directory. Now, there is a file named zoo in the root directory (from the unarcing), so you cannot create a directory with the same name as the file has. Try MAKEDIR ZOO201, and it will probably work. Have you read the docs that came with Monopoly? Is that the version that requires you to have AmigaBASIC available? Read the docs with the program. They will tell you what you have to do to get it to run. You may have to put files into certain places, assign something, or some other special things to make it run. I'm sorry, but I don't know that program that well. I ran it once or twice several months ago, and it does work. ……Betty
