Thanks for your response J.N. I tried your suggestion but got the same
"out of environment space.....". I also restarted in "DOS prompt only" and
tried it from there but I got "invalid drive" when I typed my CD-ROM drive
letter. In Windows Explorer the CD-ROM drive letter is there and shows the
directories and files.
Any other ideas out there?
