Your problem is due to the fact that your files come from a CD. When you copy
files from any CD, with WINDOWS 9X, the property of each file is "read only" !
You need to change it. For that purpose , select all the files of your directory
(/cormas / for instance); right click on this selection = > choose "properties",
then , unselect the "read only" option.
I hope it will work now...
Best regards,
Pierre
