To all who responded here . . . thanks. The solution (suggested by Leo Burke and Jaume Comas) was to set the "read only" attribute to off. This should not have caused a file read problem, and it doesn't in Windows (like, with WinMDI, I can read from the CD just fine). This was only a DOS problem . . . and it's fixed. Thanks again. MAK.
