So trying to install the newest version of Scout (of all things), SnoopDos reported it wouldn't start because it was looking for files in the directory structure of Libs:Libs/something-or-other. I've seen this problem before, such as in the directories MUI:, MUI:Libs, MUI:Libs/MUI, etc. Why can't we work out something so all these directories don't have to have the same names?
Anyhow, it was late, and I was tired, so I tried to create the directory Libs:Libs and copy the files Scout was looking for there.
This in turn created Libs:Libs/Libs, and Libs:Libs/Libs/Libs, and Libs:Libs/Libs/Libs/Libs...
And so on, until my hard drive became invalidated, and I lost the entire contents of my only two-week-old Workbench3.9 partition. Again!!!
Aaargh! This stupid problem would have been solved if only the program went looking for it's files in the standard Libs: assign!
Well, off to reformat, again. Would like to try something other than FFS, but my system is already too unstable as it is...
D*mn Amiga, crashes more often than my Win98 machine. But atleast it reboots faster. :-? :-P
