Many thanks to Craig Vespe for pointing out what my poor brain had forgotten respecting MOVER. Now, having gotten past the first hurdle, I have unpacked or attempted to unpack the ONLINE program. This does not seem to create anything usefull and observing the decompression sequence shows a file structure of the form /ALLEGRO/PUB/ONLINE. The following has been created by MOVER when attempting to unpack the file ONLINE using the following command: MOVER "-x0w ONLINEM" ... LISTF @,2 ALLEGRO 16W HBD 0 67107839 1 32 1 * When I attempt to purge this (as MANAGER.SYS) I get the following: :purge ALLEGRO SECURITY VIOLATION (FSERR 93) Unable to purge file "ALLEGRO.PRV.SYS". (CIERR 384) What is going on? How do I get rid of this? Where did the files that I actually wanted go to? Regards, -- James B.
