* I need help * I have encountered a problem unpacking Gemini 1.2. It comes as three 'self- extracting LHarc archives as well as LHARC.TTP. Hah, thought I - no problem I'll just use the self extracting archives. *Big-time Mistake* I tried to run GMNI12_3.TOS, which created its own directory and put CHAMELEON.PRG in it, it created another directory and another and ... It looks to me like one of those self-addressing directories, because it comes back to the directory with Chameleon in it. So when you unpack Gemini 1.2, use the LHARC.TTP supplied, _don't_ use the self-extraction mis-feature. Now, how do I get rid of my screwed up directory, it says that it contains a write-protected file, but it's empty. Do I have to reformat the partition? All help will be gratefully received!

It worked FINE when I used it, and an excellent program indeed! BTW, I ran GMNI12_1.TOS, GMNI12_2.TOS, then GMNI12_3.TOS (ie. numeric order). The documentation didn't specify a correct order, but this worked! Warwick. ps.
