The directory was intact but when the dump was extracted, there was a checksum error on one file and when comparing the extracted tree with the original, at least one file had been corrupted. My DAT drive probes as a 'WangDAT Model 3400DX' and it is set to use compression. Does anyone have an idea what is happening? -- Doug Rabson, RenderMorphics Ltd.
