I just ran into this "disk eject problem" trying to install Appsoft Draw and Concurrence under 2.1. Thus, the question, "Does this bug fix work for 2.1 as well as 3.0?" I've never had this type of problem before so I was also wondering what has changed? Thanks, Mark. -- Mark Kotanchek Guidance & Control Dept - 363 ASB Applied Research Lab/Penn State P.O.
