The Qlib_run_336hpr error had not happened before (what is hpr anyway?). The Cascade_rc error has happened before but mostly not (?). hpr is the initials of Hans-Peter Recktenwald. I * think * this is a patched version of Qlib 3.36, which corrects and enhances a few things - more information

Re: [Ql-Users] WIN drive gone missing

I agree with Wolfgang in that there probably was an outstanding file lock on the .WIN file. The file lock would keep other programs from writing to the .WIN file, but it would allow programs to read from it. This is why you could copy it and why SMSQmulator said it was read-only. The reboot
