DONE

None to delete.

There were a zillion of them. I repaired quite a few, and when I finished,
most of my desktop disappeared, incluing UniMaint. (I restored OK from a
backup).

It doesn't want to run.
It says: "Reading PM_Abstract: ObjectsMessage file not found" -- SYS 3175
etc.

>Then it's time to try checkini again and give me a status update.

No change.

That's right.

None that I can see.

Thanks again,
Sandy
