Interferon actually means "Type 203 Anomaly", which translates to "CODE resource found in non-application file". This message often appears with compiler libraries, as they usually contain CODE resource, but have a custom file type. I have also noticed this in Lightspeed Pascal/C project files and DA Handler. If the file Interferon shouted about doesn't fit in the cases I just described, check if there is a plausible reason for the CODE resource to exist. If not, drop me a note. -- Danny Schwendener +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mail : Danny Schwendener, ETH Macintosh Support | | Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, CH-8092 Zuerich | | Bitnet : macman@czheth5a UUCP : {cernvax,mcvax}ethz!macman | | Internet: macman@ifi.ethz.ch Voice : yodel three times | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
