Previously I posted: > We are getting the following error message when trying to run a program. > >C:\MENU> mcad_get >Cannot execute C:\MENU\MCAD_GET.EXE <text deleted> First thanks to all those who replyed. The net came through again! Special thanks to phil@cs.utexas.edu who hit it on the nose. For those who are interrested the .EXE was corrupt. I compared the .EXE on the hard disk with the one on backup (Yes, I backup regularly thank goodness). The .EXE on the hard disk was about 1/3 the size of the backup one. After talking with all the people who use the PC I came to find out that some of the blocks on the disk went bad and were cleaned up. Hence how I probably lost some of the .EXE Again, thanks to all those who responded. Bill angevine@rapnet.sanders.lockheed.com
