The same thing happened to me yesterday with 3 files that I downloaded from the Milton site (db128rboot.sfx, debugpatch.sfx and geopg128info.sfx). I didn't use any fast-loaders or wedges. I only had my REU plugged in (It always worked before). There's probably something wrong with the files because I tried a fourth .sfx file afterwards (without even turning off the computer nor resetting it) and it worked fine. Can someone else (other than Lyle) confirm these problems ? TO THE AUTHORS OF THE PROGRAMS: Please download them and try them out. If there really is a problem, either upload a working version or send me an uuencoded file. Thank you. -- Miguel Pedro Send mail to if18@info.polymtl.ca (NOT @vlsi.polymtl.ca !!!)
