Thanks a lot !

According to the listing generated by "Filemon" all the paths are really 
generated correctly and the abnormalities happen when under Win98 sw is 
tryi´ing to point/read/manipulate/write/attribute the said extracted 
files through the correct paths!!

Very strange for me !

Would you like to get a small piece of the list of Filemon from that 
"abnormal" area ?

For your information I have tried "GcCollect" (Carbage collect) proposed 
by Werner Bruhin as well, which unfortunately has no influence to the 
problem (suspect of lack of resources)  !

I may have to start to debug ... or ?
