I downloaded FPC 3.5 from simtel20 late Sunday night. It all seems fine. The zip files all unzipped and I was able to install the system fine. I haven't banged on it yet, but it seems to work fine. I'm assuming the problem Doug refers to it just getting onto simtel20 and not that the wrong files were loaded up initially, right? Unfortunately, I had to install it by hand. I originally did it under VP/ix under Xenix. I wanted it to go to drive L: and install would keep going back to c:\fpc on the prompt line after I entered L:\fpc35. This should be fixed as lots of networks use most of the alphabet for drive names. j |%|John Lawitzke, Dale Computer Corp., R&D |%|UUCP: uunet!frith!dale1!jhl Work |%| uunet!frith!ipecac!jhl Home Inquiring minds just wondering. |%|Internet: jhl@frith.egr.msu.edu
