note binarygrrl Thank you for the walk-thru :) Patches 0002, and 0003 worked fine - but 0004 and 0005 get stuck. (Error Msgs for both) "Assertion failed: hunk, file .\src\patch\2.5.9\patch-2.5.9-src\patch.c, line 354 This application has requested runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." How does one, unix2dos? 1012508 1012521
