Steven, your suggestions worked perfectly and I don't get the 0005 trap
on FFST.EXE during bootup any more.

Thanks for sending me DDE4.MSG. I installed it, rebooted, and the
"Message file not found." error went away.

Thanks again. I moved the FF*.DMP and FFSTHDR.FFS files to a SAFETY\
directory, rebooted, and for the first time in six weeks didn't get the
trap. Then I ran FFST Setup and didn't get an error.

(The LOG00001.DAT file was "in use" so I couldn't move it. Since the
problem is fixed and I had previously reset the FFST log to get rid of
the entries, I'm not going to boot to my Maintenance partition and move
LOG00001.DAT.)

Problem fixed. Thanks once more!
