Apparently the Table of Contents (? 8-bit leftovers) was intact, because the disk still said that there was something on it, however there was nothing in the directory. I have no cacheing programs and I am running on an unmodified 520STfm (yeaach!). I downloaded it again and have had no problems since. ------------ Eric A. HOBBS! eahsnsr@JUPITER.nmt.edu
