Happy New Year everyone,

I'm running into a problem with Patch/ix, and
wondered if anyone else has seen this.  I get
to the 'Create the Tape' step, and the process
seems to hang at the point of 'Modifying the
Staged SL in SL.INSTALL.SYS.

I'm on 5.5, with Patch/ix version B.00.17.  I've
let this go as long as three hours before killing
it off, and I have yet to get to the tape prompt.
I've checked that Stageman is initialized.  I've
even purged @.install and copied the patch/ix files
from another system before starting over.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Scott
