There was a recent message from someone who had been having
problems using Lightspeed C on a hard disk. I had similar
problems with the symptoms being that although all my
projects and libraries were in the same folder as Lightspeed
C itself, the and the system could "Add" projects to the
project I was working on, it wouldn't find them when you
tried to "Make" the project. I solved it by putting
_everything_ into the blessed System folder.
I have found out that there is a defective version of
Hard Disk 20 floating about, and I had a copy of it. When
I got a correct version and installed it, the problem
went away. The version of HD 20 I am now using is
Hard Disk 20 Version 1.1, according to the information
box. If you have been having similar problems, this may
be the answer.

It is true that there are at least two versions of the HD20 driver file. This file is used by those of us who kick start our HD20's. The one dated in Sept of 85 is bogus. The one dated in early 86 is fine. They are exactly the same size. The HD20 file used is the one on your kick start disk, not the one on your HD20. In LightspeedC the bogus HD20 driver will manifest its short comings by refusing to let you add projects or libraries from the Lightspeed system folder. - ben hyde, cambridge.
