I have no >idea whether the stuff is in /NextLibrary/Documentation >on the CD, but you can certainly check and see. The problem is.. it WON'T let me install the new docs... it checks the Folder, sees it is Read-Only, and pops up one of those great 1-choice error panels telling me that there were errors during the instalation, check the log :( Any other hints? The folder NextLibrary/Documentation is linked right to the CD, so I can't really add a NextLibrary/Documentation/AppleTalk folder :( > >-- >Bob Cook bobcook@slac.stanford.edu >Stanford Linear Accelerator Center NeXT mail okay > thanks...
