Been there, done that... The only thing that eliminates the "packed
file corrupt" message is executing the problematic programs from a dos
image (like msdos6.22 or 5.0). A real pain in the arse, since I don't like
having dos on my os2 machine! :')

Know this, thanks just the same.

True, but in optimizing my dos sessions for small size, I keep dos low...

Thanks for the help, anyway, Mike.
