If the .qq file came from a subdirectory and that subdirectory does not exsist then BLU will give you 'an illegal pathname' error ofcourse. You can try two things. First try BLUing the .qq files back together and then using BLU2.28 (must be v2.28) extract the files; it is important to note that the order of the .qq files must be correct and also when extracting Binary2 files, BLU2.28 automaticaly unsqueezes any .qq files. If that doesn't work try using a text editor, a short basic program, or OA-J from TIC, to look at the first few bytes of the .qq files. You should be able to see the pathname and thus, the name of the missing subdirectory. Boot basic, CREATE the subdirectory on the same disk that you have the .qq files (make sure you DON'T PUT THE .qq FILES IN THE SUBDIRECTORY YOU JUST MADE) and now use BLU to unsqueeze those buggers. BTW- I didn't dl the DEMO posted to the net, I have it from another source. But, my copy is in a subdirectory called DIVERSI.DEMO so that may be the missing subdirectory name. Try it you'll like it.
