Sounds >like some blocks have gone bad inside the program files. I got some ExpressLoad error as well, when I was playing with my new SyQuest drive (I'm writing a review - I have no idea as to when I'll finish it, but I'm trying). I think it was something strange, like $1140 (the $40 part is "Invalid Pathname Syntax") - I'm just curious as to why ExpressLoad just wraps the GS/OS error code in the tool error format (high byte is the tool number of the tool that had the error, the low byte contains the actual error code for that tool). It seems that most tools simply return the errors that it gets from whatever other resources (tools or OS) it's calling - why the deviation? Also, ExpressLoad popped me into the system death mgr - why'd it do that, when the error was recoverable? p.s. You mean you're patching rn to remove all of your posts, with your 5 line .signature? ;) >Matt Deatherage, Apple Computer, Inc. | "The opinions represented here are -- Jason Blochowiak - jason@madnix.UUCP or, try: astroatc!nicmad!madnix!jason@spool.cs.wisc.edu "Education, like neurosis, begins at home." - Milton R.
