William Korfhage wrote about not having certain files show up in his SF GetDialog Box. Here's my response, which, BTW, bounced back to me and could not be delivered: I saw your message on comp.sys.mac, and had a similar problem, though I NEVER used Textures. I never really found out what the culprit was, but the problem was fixed when I replaced the System file. It has somehow gotten corrupted. In fact, I too was running boomerang, but that's the only similarities between our problems (and Mac setups, actually). I would try trashing the System file (or at least boot from a floppy) and see if the problem goes away. Or, if that doesn't work, copy the files that don't appear onto a floppy and try reading them on a different machine. That way, you can isolate the problem. BTW, if you try booting from a floppy, make sure to run an application off that floppy as well, because otherwise-if you try to run an application from the hard drive, the HD's system will become active and you won't be able to tell anything. Sorry I couldn't find the problem, but hopefully I've suggested a cure. Good luck, Kevin Bolduan '91 Amherst College KSBOLDUAN@AMHERST Bitnet Address
