Chris , I'm the person who uploaded the file donna.lzh (which contains donna.movie) to ab20. I dont know why you are having problems with it. When I uploaded it to my account in order to transfer it to ab20 I downloaded it again to see if my upload was correct because I have fairly noisy phone lines. That download was ok so I ftp'ed it to ab20. Maybe the file got munged by the transfer to ab20. I'm using the MOVIE program written for Byte-By-Byte by Eric Graham and it runs fine for me. I'll ftp the file from ab20 and check to see it its ok. You could also check your copy of MOVIE to see if its ok. Maybe a newer version of MOVIE is required. The version I have is dated 1988. I didnt upload it because I thought that it was already on ab20. If the file donna.lzh I ftp'ed to ab20 is corrupted I'll upload it again but it might take awhile as I'm about to lose my account on this machine and another account I managed to get is VMS (ugh!) and I havent been able to figure out its intricacies yet. Also , uploading a 530k file at 2400 baud is a royal pain. I hope all the other files I uploaded to ab20 arent corrupted since most of them are fairly large. The other files I uploaded are SaxonDemo_1.lzh , SaxonDemo_2.lzh , DynaCADD.lzh , GlobulousDemo.lzh. Has anyone else downloaded these files and gotten them to work? It would help me a lot if I knew if those files were ok or not.
