Did it ask for a "library tape", perchance? In any case, grab this one: http://www.neurotica.com/htdocs/misc/rsts10-1.tap Let me know when you have it so I can remove it from the server. Run your install again from that one; it won't ask you for anything else. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
