Sorry, you need at least a DOS boot disk since the installation program is running only under DOS. But the boot program itself is independant of any operating system (should be - its a boot menu program). I will see whether I can port the installation program to C using curses or if this is not possible writing a simple utility for UNIX's. |> could you post a UUENCODED version? What is LHA? This *is* a uuencoded version. This is a uuencoded self-extracting LHA archiv for DOS. LHA is a DOS compress utility (should be known to many DOS users) but since its self-extracting if you run it (under DOS) this is indifferent. |> It looks like uuencode, but uudecode won't touch it. Hmm. That makes me wonder. Just now I saved the posting with the uuencoded file to a file "xyz" and typed: uudecode xyz and got os-bs132.exe with exactly 29876 bytes back. I never had problems with the local uu[en|de]code here. But I've put the file to ftp.fu-berlin.de to /incoming. -- Thomas Thomas Wolfram Voice : +49 030 4262960 Platz der Vereinten Nationen 6 Internet: wolframt@cs.tu-berlin.de 1017 Berlin Germany
