Dear all, Using a download manager, I 'managed to download' the Object IO library. Get DLExpert from http://www.rocketdownload.com/dnload/dlexpert.exe (not at rocket speed, but not too bad) or from the developer directly http://www.yanew.com/english.htm (very, very, very slow) http://www.yanew.com/dlexpert099.exe (slow) Then, use DLExpert to download the both Object IO files: http://free.top.bg/ka2_mail/objectio-ref.zip http://free.top.bg/ka2_mail/objectio.zip Use the maximum number of threads (1000) to download the file, or wait a long time (using 30 threads takes an hour). A few more points: The zip file is NOT corrupt :-) I'm sorry I don't have room to put the ObjectIO lib online as I did with the reference:-( With DLExpert, you can download the file in 5 minutes People at the Computer Science departement, Utrecht University: look in /net/tmp/ObjectIO Regards, Rijk-Jan
