Thought I could follow how it installed itself and copy the same setup on my NT site. I change my directory so that I'm in the folder with the install.me, I type perl install.me and I get the same message. Do I need to change permissions? Do you see what Windoze has done to me? If the file contents of the MHonArc tar bundle does not match what is listed at http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/MHonArc/ then re-download MHonArc. Letter case is important in filenames. You should provide a copy of the commands you run and the output generated to provide use with better information. Under Unix/Linux, you can use the "script" command to record a terminal session. --ewh

I believe so unless you can get your service provide to install it for you. Manual installation is described in the documentation, but it may be troublesome since it appears you have no easy way to edit the files. You'll probably have to pre-edit the files on your system before uploading to the remote site. Do you have anyway to telnet to the site? --ewh

From the documentation: IMPORTANT You must be in the same directory as the install.me program when you run it. So Steve is correct. You need to install from a shell prompt. I recommend installing the Cygwin package for a (free) decent shell and Unix tool environment for Win32. But NT's command shell will work. Read the installation documentation for more information and usage notes for Win32 systems. I recently erased my only NT workstation installation but I believe that Earl uses NT now so he will probably reply. I only use NT if I am paid to do so. I run Linux at home, and at my current paying workplace, I do not have easy access to an NT box. I have a Sun running Solaris 2.6, a Dell running Lose98, and an old HP Vectra running RH Linux 6.0. I used an NT box (mostly as an X terminal) at my previous place of employment. --ewh
