I was good; I did all the things I was told I needed to do. I dl'ed hawaii.exe from the Papyrus ftp site. I unpacked the new files. I even ran a few laps to see if my setup needed changing. When I logged onto Hawaii, it updated my newly updated files, and instructed me to exit and unzip the new files. I complied, and reconnected. Hawaii complained that I need to exit and unzip hawaii.zip and multi136.zip. I complied, and reconnected. Hawaii downloaded new a new agree.txt and a few assorted files, and instructed me to exit and unzip hawaii.zip and multi136.zip. I complied, and reconnected. Hawaii complained that... An hour later, and 40 long-distance minutes poorer, I gave up. I was patient. I followed directions. I feel frustrated and abused. My inclination is to pick up the phone and find out which jerk-off did this particular *** to***up my holiday afternoon. But I didn't; couldn't, actually. This faceless mess called Hawaii stays aloof and bans personal interaction. I don't care, actually. All I want to know is what Hawaii is looking for, and what I can do to fix this mess. (And then we can talk about personalities. I need a name to burn in effigy, an offering to appease the angry racing gods.) First order of business: what is Hawaii looking for? What should I do to fix it? Mike.

Snip. Please ignore if these are stupid suggestions: 1. Make sure you unzip the files so that they're created in the Nascar Dir. 2. Don't delete the .zip files from the nascar directory either. When I deleted the zip files after upgrading Hawaii down loaded them again. Good luck, Mike Radler

========== Does this mean you're able to log into Hawaii with Multi 1.36-M? I can't get past the file update portion on the server. Multi.exe identifies itself as Version 1.36-M on startup. DBITERM and TERM are dated 6/25, though. These were extracted from HAWAII.EXE, dl'ed from ftp.sierra.com. Can you post the file size and dates on the files in the update you have?
