Sorry I forgot that Jim uses the '.' separator and not the '_' . I was not thinking when I was typing then. >Could it be that you are trying to install 'QDT' too deeply (directory's >name too long)? I don't think you understand the problem. I am not trying to install QDT. I already have it installed will lay it out again: I am trying to send an upgrade to a customer. I have the file Jim sent to me by email. This is a ZIP file with the above three files in it. When I first did the distribution of QDT I unzipped the emailed file to RAM1_ I then copied this to the floppy disks for the customers. Now when I do the same thing I find that the file on RAM1_ will unzip but the exact same file copied to the floppy disk by any of the file managers fails with an error message. The only way I could get around the problem and get the upgrade to the customer was to unzip directly to the floppy disk.
I did not try to install QDT because I did not want to affect my own installation so I used unzip to extract the files to RAM2_ to test the archive. I also tried t read it with ACP and it would read the RAM1_ archive but not the FLP1_ copy. ACP has been set up on my machine for ages and works perfectly except in this case. I also have FileInfo II set up to either 'call ACP' or 'unzip to RAM1_' This has been like this for years with no problem. I cannot understand why copying a valid ZIP archive from RAM1_ to FLP1_ breaks it. I will investigate further. -- Roy Wood Q Branch. 20 Locks Hill, Portslade, Sussex.BN41 2LB Tel: +44 (0) 1273 386030 fax: +44 (0) 1273 430501 skype : royqbranch web : www.qbranch.demon.co.uk _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
