Will, try reinstalling the program....it may have been corrupted
when you copied it the first time.

My utilities are in the same folder as my AWGS program.  The
dictionaries are in a subdirectory named "Dictionaries" within the
AWGS folder.  It also needs at least 4MB to run properly
under System 6.0.1, so plug those SIMMs into the Sirius!  ;-)
