System 3.0 contains a bug in UpdateResFile that can cause any resource file to be trashed -- and that includes the system file!! The bug is fixed in 3.1 and later System Files. This is an especially pernicious bug, in that it is not immediately obvious that your system file has been trashed. [And I wondered why, for the first time I have had a serious case of trashed disks!!! (seven to be exact, all I used in a particular evening) You have been warned. -- Jim Budler ( all within '['']' is me) ] -- Jim Budler Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
