Jeffrey,
I also tried the utility diskettes on ECS 1.1 and it failed, too. Someday I'm going to look at my Warp 4
diskettes and try to manually recreate a diskette set for ECS 1.1 (later construct a REXX script to
automate it).

Meanwhile, I downloaded the latest setup from bootAble and created 2 bootable CD's. They really
work and are faster and much more flexible than the diskettes. If you have the hardware and
software (a CD-R and/or CD-RW unit and CD recording software, like RSJ) I strongly suggest that
you go the bootAble CD route and stop struggling with the diskettes.

You can create several bootAble CD versions. You can boot to an ECS commandline, or you can
boot to a small, but very usable WPS. You can place working copies of BackAgain/2000 and
Acrobat on the CD. The instructions for bootAble are pretty complete and well done.
