Joiks!  Sounds bad.  *Really* bad.

People, until this is all hashed out, *don't* download the new LDAO files.
Especially not the complete download.

I will double-check the files, and see if I can determine any problems from my
end -- either the file getting corrupted on the upload, or the wrong system
files being included in the installation.

Get LDAO 2.1.4 at <http://blisses.home.att.net/ldao/ldaddon.html>.

I hate to say this, Steve, but I think it needs fixing.  I installed this
version (the complete download) of LDAO twice.  Both times, after I installed
it, Windows (98) wouldn't start.

Travis Dickinson asked me to forward the following to lugnet.cad:

Sounds better than what happened to me.  I downloaded the 2.5 Mb file
and installed with the back-up option.  Restarted the computer (thinking
at the time that I needed to back-up my files) and Explorer crashed on
the restart.  After numerous reboots, I called Gateway.  After trying to
install the previous day's back-up of the system files, the technician
was kind enough to confirm my worst fear:  re-install Windows and
reformat the hard drive.

I am going to ignore this problem for a few days while I go to the
beach.  Afterwards, I'm to have the grueling task of using DOS to save
my essential files, mostly Lego stuff, to either floppy :( or zip :)

In an attempt to avoid this, I going to ask if anyone thinks I canget by
with just re-installed Windows without reformatting my hard drive.
Else, does anyone know of any DOS utilities that will allow me to access
a zip drive.

I will be away until Tuesday night or Wednesday (US EST).

I truely hope that no one else has the same problem that I have.

I just downloaded the "only files that have changed" and everything works for me, including the inliner (YAY) so there isnt any problem with ldaddon.exe itself :) (24 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad)
