I may have to do that. I certainly will give my input when I figure out what went wrong. >> I appreciate all the work that people to that they do not get >> compensated for but after that comment I have to say that I have >> installed literally hundreds of Windows software with Zip problems. >> This software here is some of the most difficult software to install >> that I have ever seen. > > did you try this? > > http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/windows-details.html > > i followed pretty much it word to word (except i downloaded the > prc-tools tar.gz manually) [not using install from internet].. I did, word for word. Since you have not tried it per the instructions, could that be part of the problem? I clicked "load from internet" and then clicked the top item which loads everything. Upon the last step, that says add icon and menu, the setup crashed saying "illegal operation performed" or something like that. Very consistent on that failure. Plus the instructions indicate that this is possible to happen. But just in case that was the source of my problem, I also specified to download the setup program and load from local drive. I did that as well and had the same problems. >> The amount of people that have problems with it on initial >> installation is a testiment to that fact.

I certainly will. Once I figure out what works for me, I will document that very carefully and send it to him. <unproductive snide comments snipped> -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
