re ami pro and pctools compress doesn t like being moved sorry about that don t want to alarm anyone i don t think there is any correlation between the crashes and pctools i reinstalled ami pro and ran compress again with no problems i think problems may have been related to filling my disk until it had bytes left while ftping although i would think it wouldn t matter since ami pro wasn t running at the time and i made space available immediately anyways but whatever the cause it is working now derek
