Well, I just downloaded PAK210.EXE, and tried to unpack it and PAK.EXE was corrupted (BAD CRC) and would not unpack. This is one of the reasons why comp.binaries.ibm.pc is moderated, and why I'm not taking PC binaries from any where else from now on. At least from there I have a high degree of confidence that what I'm downloading is actually going to work. Living 60+ miles from work makes phone bill rather large and taking the time and expense of downloading stuff that doesn't work makes for a rather poor use of that time and expense. Don't know who originally said this, but "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" seems to apply here.. . -- Jeff Troeger - Citicorp (+) TTI "Of all the things I've lost, 3100 Ocean Park Bl.
