Razzak,
OK, I gave that a shot, adding a:\ to the path, although it seemed a
little odd to have to make the a: drive part of the path to install a
program for the first time. I'm installing it on my home computer first, to
be safe, so there is no path to R:base executables let alone a default
installation directory. The same message comes up. These are Microrim
disks, for 6.0 for DOS, 1996 - three floppies plus a LAN pack. Why does it
ask for an E drive?
