I am expecting Fabrizio to make his known good copy available tonight for me (which i will download) and try again... in the meantime I am re-downloading the pieces from sourceforge (without proxy this time to be sure) and I will join them using FreeDos > >cd image should be 688488448 bytes long, your NT is doing something >strange. I am ABSOLUTELY sure that when I added the sizes manually last time they came up to be 713 Megs... now when I made the addition directly from the filesizes reported by sourceforge, they indeed check out to be 688 Megs. We'll see after I download.. I will keep you posted. Thanks! Phoebus
