Under WinNT, lfn support from within DOS programs is broken, so the LFN=x variable does nothing. In this case, remove the installation and re-unzip with a dos-based unzipper that ingores LFN's. Under Win9x, look at the file problems.txt for a list of common difficulties with gxx2.8.11 etc. I went through that and my troubles ended, but I'm not sure which alteration I made it was that licked it. -- Charles Krug, Jr. Application Engineer Pentek Corp 1 Park Way Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 --------------BB94B1497452CC265B6959DD Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dennis B.
