Was trying to help a friend setup 9.0 on his AT and we keep getting a message "Can't open (path)\acad.lsp for input". Used the set parameters within DOS for: SET LISPHEAP=40000 SET LISPSTACK=5000 SET ACADFREERAM=24000 These have always worked for me. He has a true Blue AT with 640K RAM plus 1.5Meg Extended and 2.5Meg Expanded. The extended uses VDISK as a RAM Disk but it didn't matter where we ran the ACAD from(ram or fixed disk). The size of the acad.lsp file (8K down to 1K) had no effect either. The Autolisp feature from config was on as wl. This one really has me stumped! Any sgestions anyone? Thanks Paul F.

This is an unusual message. I can't duplicate it and the conditions that would cause a similar message would not normally apply to ACAD.LSP. It sort of sounds like the program has been corrupted so I would start with reloading the software. When AutoCAD starts it looks for ACAD.lsp and will only load the routine if it sees the file, but from the sound of this, it is finding the file then encountering some sort of load error. Will the file load normally "by hand". Meaning start AutoCAD and typing (load "/pathname/acad")? Any special dos file handlers being used? (Like Carousel?) Are you working on a network?
