Hello fellow Atarians,
   [haha, gotta love those greetings!]
   I recently downloaded the two *.MSA files for the Chaos demo from the
Atari.archive.  I successfully downloaded and unMSAed the two files to
make the Chaos demo disk, but the disk directory and/or boot sectors do
appear to be scrambled: the disk wouldn't self-boot or reach desktop, and
checking it's contents from desktop showed weirc characters in the folder
and filenames: a scrambled directory.

  Has anybody else had these problems?  Is there a patch?  Or should I
attempt to download the entire demo again?  I checked to see if my disk
was bad, unformattable, etc: the media was not the problem.

  Thanks for your help, please e-mail replies rather than take up Usenet
bandwidth.  Bye now!
