Hi Ed,
I installed CT953 and the 3Alpha 3Alpha 3 was replaced by 3Tango33 for the
most part. I defragged the harddrive and ran scandisk with no difference.
So the change from CT951 to CT953 somewhat changed the error but
unfortunately the problem still remains.
I attempted again to use the move command and received the error message:
Unable to open source
So I can not move the files using the move command and I can not rename the
subdirectory. I am using DOS 6.22 on an old 486.
73 and tnx for all your help.
Bob KQ2M

> Hmm, you may have a hard disk problem, as a hunch. I know that this would
take a long time to run, but maybe a scandisk would find bad sectors? Could
possibly the files are getting merged because of some sort of disk problem?
I don't know much about that. By creating a entirely new dvp directory or
even a new ct and dvp directory, you would first eliminate and extraneous
files and second place them on a different part of the hard disk. I would
create a new ct directory with just the essential files, like CT.EXE, the
tsrs, and the .dat files. Then record the new dvp stuff and see if this
happens again. If so, throw out everything and try knitting ;^)
