Figgered... hehe...

I guess this is a point where we differ. I work with numbers every
day, so my eyes are pretty good at capturing and comparing. I don't
mess with JAS, I just set the two crc's side by side and do a visual
scan. Kinda like one eye is looking at yours, the other is looking at
mine, and some interpreter in my brain pops up a flag any time it
spots a diff. The 839 parts of Twister takes maybe 5 minutes. I'll
miss one now and then, but it's pretty rare.

He doesn't seem to be at all responsive to any of the posts about
playing probs, aside from saying that his copy plays fine. The fact
that he split it with Mastersplitter shouldn't matter. A split part is
a split part. What's wrong, I think, is a combination of a corrupted
copy that may play "satisfactorily" for him, and some horrendous
posting glitches. That batch from 713 thru 813 couldn't possibly be
the actual parts he has, or his vid wouldn't play at all past 712.
:> I caught your note in the

At this point, it looks like Y-Not has a copy that *may* have just one
little fixable glitch. You prob'ly already caught my reply to his post
of the crc. If I can patch it, then his "Helper" might gleefully post
every part that's needed. Even the ones you're planning to post. We'll
see...
He wants to help, and if we can tweak his copy, then he can save me a
humungous number of hours of posting time. He might even repost the
whole corrected vid, which I think is what he wants to do anyway.
We'll get this case of entropy straightened out, eventually. But it's
sure turned into an interesting project. ;o))
Take care, U.
See ya.
