I unpacked the archive into a 800K ramdisk (within a four megabyte 520, so there was no problem with running out of memory), and then ran reorg.prg. At no time did I tell reorg to actually start doing some reorganization; I just got to it's "desktop" and immediately exited. Before I ran reorg, counting the unpacked DLII archive, there was about 500K worth of stuff in the ramdisk; afterwards there was nothing whatsoever. This would make it seem that DLII/reorg has a major bug that's either related to ram disks in some strange way, or with disks that have a 12 bit FAT table. dgc
