Harry,

I used the uninstall.cmd to remove EEE after the screwed up installation.
I think there were a lot of SYS 2002 File not found messages. ( I didn't
use more and have lost pmrexx scrollcmd.cmd when I fried my hard drives).

Then I installed again using install.cmd which I used before. Things now
get "curioser and curioser" as someone said.

The log from my first, unsuccessful installation, your log and the log
from my successful installation (I think; I haven't tried the program) are
*identical*. All three of them report *all files except the dll's* went
into C:\EEE. None of them report any files being placed in a
sub-directory.

After my second installation, there are the same number of files in
sub-directories (except for Clip Text) as you said you have. But I have
only 19 files in C:\EEE (no dll's) compared to the 40 or so you indicated
you have; 3 in C:\EEE\ClipText; 10 in C:EEE\PLugins; 9 in C:\EEE\Printer;
and 4 in C:\EEE\Sound. That makes a total of 45 program files.

To top the curios aspects of the whole situation off when I counted the
files in my two installation logs and yours, the numbers were
identical--31 program files and 5 dll's. And the file and dll names were
identical.

Then I found the some possible reasons for the difference. In the source
directory there are two cmd files (postplug.cmd and preplug.cmd) and two
zip files (enhanced.zip and vpt.zip). But I still don't see why you have
more files in C:\EEE than I do.
