LUGs,

WARNING:

Yesterday I finished installing EudoraPro 4.0.  It worked just fine until it
downloaded a message from: paw@mail1.foxir - which apparantly is hundreds of
pages of e-mail addresses!!  It has completely frozen my program ( I am
writing this on Eudora light).

I don't know what it is or where it came from.  If you find it - delete it
if you can.  I knew something was wrong when it took about 15 minutes to
download from the server - I thought it had just hung up and went to drink
some coffee.

I thought I should mention this problem for the LUGS information.  The next
section is what I have been doing and hopefully I can get some help for
computer experts and is not for general information.

HELP

EudoraPro 4.0 is entirely frozen.  I don't want to uninstall it if I don't
have to as I don't want to have to hand enter all the addresses - again in 3
days.  The file did not go to the trash - or load - it just sat there.  For
a while I could read and send mail through the Leica users mailbox (paw is
in the "In" box) but after it froze up the last time on the "In" box I had
to stop the computer and when I come back it is to the frozen "In" box.

I tried to delete the file through Windows Exployer and DOS.  I erased the
file IN.MBX as it pertained to the paw message (took nearly 20 minutes to do
it) used note book and saved it.  Didn't work

Those you have Eudora Pro - any suggetions??  Anyone know what this thing
is???  It doesn't show up on my virus scanner as a virus - although I did
have a registry problem, which was fixed. One startup the computer also
shows the error message:"The following file is missing or corroupted:
C:\2015\2015PL.SYS   Error in config.sys on line 26, which I think is the
above file.

Please e-mail me privately at either: n5xrd@telepath.com    or  n5xrd@juno.com

Thanks
