: Last night I was fiddling with a progrsm called Angel trying to unpack
: an LHA file. And it changed the file somehow to something foriegn that
: my //GS doesn't recognize. When I try to delete the file I get message
: 'error $0040 Invalid pathname'
: I have tryed to change the filetype name but nothing recognizes it.
Sounds like there are some characters in the filename that are invalid to
ProDOS. There are any number of ways to fix this. The easiest I know of
is to use Deliverance to delete or rename the file (It's the only program I
know of that won't bitch about illegal characters in the filename).
