Hi Steven
Thanks for your very quick reply.

An earlier application of a FP with RSU went very smooth but
with this FP16 I am struggling not the first time now.

Yesterdays experience:
RSU, tried many times, always resulted in some RC's like 11, 50
...
... so I tried, also many times, downloading the dsk files but
working with QF I always got one or more CRC errors and
did not continue, of course.

This morning, before I finally wrote to SCOUG-Help, I had already
tried some time more: NO success.

Earlier processes with RSU as also with QF were done well ...
... but these days I am having frustrations only ;-((

Will quote into your following reply:

I am not sure and I do not know really

I already checked with Google before writing in ...
... Hobbes shows no QF nor Quickfix ;-((

You are correct !
The RSU method is really comfortable and easy if it works ...
... but horrible if it doesn't

About RC50: I used an empty 10GB partition to apply FP16 with RSU
...
... but it still complains about space !?

Another curiousity: The unpacking of xr_m016.*dk files with QF
always
ends with one or more CRC error(s) but not continuing the process
also
erases all the files in the qfos2 directory except the log file !
So I am unable to save the good files and retry with the bad
one(s) only !

I will do some further tries now ...
... with no success I will stay on FP15 till changing to 4.52
soon !?

Once again, thanks for your hints and suggestions
