I have tried a few more tests and have some more information that may help you point me to a solution. I have tried running IRIDFLAR manually from the command line and have discovered that the three bad command of file names are in fact from IRIDFLAR not quicksat. If I put a copy of IRIDFLAR.OUT in the directory (from another machine) IRIDFLAR runs OK with no errors and creates a new IRIDFLAR.OUT file which looks OK. If I try to run the generation from within CdC I immediately get the three file not found or bad command errors and the process fails with a file not found error as above. I have had a search in the registry and the .ini files for a path that may be corrupt and cannot find any relevant paths. Hope this gives you enough information to help me John
