Also Dan, What seemed to help for us and I dont know if
this is possible for you to do but...

We instaleld Windows NT 4 SP3 Dual Boot on out Development machine,
and installed ONLY VFP 6 onto the Windows NT OS. We made the
disks off of that and now all options for Disks works.
we tested the Diskettes on Win 95, 98 and NT (3 Seperate Machines)
and all worked fine. We go back to the Windiws 95 portion of
the Dual-Boot Machine, make the disks, and it pukes...

So I think it is something that we have installed along with
VFP 6 that is messing things up...

Please let me know anything you find out!
Thanx! Bob

Also, there are several areas in SETUP.INF that look suspect, black boxes where file names are supposed to appear. Here is one section that shows this. The square boxes appear in the "AcmsetupEXE", AcmsetupHLP" and others.
