I've always used the b.p75, and this was the one I was trying to load into my P75, which is the antique with the slide switch (Am I bitter that my brand new hardware has become antiquated within 2 weeks of my purchase? NAAAH). When I tried the b.p75 image, it said it couldn't decompress the file ID, it didn't give a warning that the file was not correct. I couldn't even get past it using the -f switch. My guess is that I"m gonna have to back down to a version that doesn't have the check (5.0ApXX) and load it from there. - - -Richard At 10:24 AM 9/5/97 -0400, you wrote: >At 08:04 09/05/1997 -0400, Richard B Dervan wrote: >>I just downloaded 5.1A and am having a problem loading it into my P75 and it >>says "Unable to decompress load identifier."
