Hello Mark, we were saying !

        Not the reason, )\/(ark, as the programme works fine in most
 spects. It is only the path to the zipper that is not seen properly.

 ML> if it is copy protection, it is likely based on the "serial
number" of

        No, I have the keys to validate this PRG.

 ML> open a command prompt and do a DIR /P and you should see the "serial
 ML> number" listed with the drive's volumn name...

        Hee ! This brought to mind a long forgotten DOS command. I did
  this and added the >PRN to it and I now have on paper the content of
  the HD as a reference.   Thanks.
