It is a file from a game that I copied to the hard disk using, I believe, Copy II Harddisk. It didn't give me any trouble for a while, and then after a full hard disk restore I did, the problem started. If I try to move it to the Trash can, when I Shutdown the system, I get an alert saying something about the file being "Open or Busy", or maybe "In Use", I can't remember. Anyway, when I boot up again, the file is back where it came from. I've tried using Copy II MacTools, but it gives me the same message about being busy when I try to delete it. I also get an error about this file everytime I back up the hard disk using DiskFit. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this file? I don't care to have it on the hard disk at all. Thanks in advance. -- Carl S. Scholz {scubed,ihnp4,gatech,cbosgd}!ncr-sd!ncrcae!fido!scholz NCR E&M Columbia 3325 Platt Springs Rd., W.
