      BACKGROUND
      
      Create Error #66 is described as a "Directory Cluster Mismatch."
      The error occurs when Setup begins tagging all files on the drive
      being compressed. When Setup encounters a single directory of
      more than 2000 files, it may respond with a Create Error #66. In
      some few cases a Create error #66 may have other causes. These
      situations must be individually investigated. See your brochure
      "How to Reach Stac" included in your Stacker 4.0 package.
      
      SOLUTION
      
          -Locate the specific directory where the error condition
           (2000 or more files in the directory) exists.
          -Break up or remove the directory containing 2000 or more
           files.
          -Run Stacker Setup again.
           
      Locate the directory where the error condition exists
      
      In many cases, icon directories have large numbers of files in
      them. Look for one of these as it  may save some time in
      identifying the problem directory.
      
      Locate the directory where the error occurred using a file
      management utility such as DOSSHELL, File Manager, or Xtree Gold.
      If these are not available use the DOS DIR command to find the
      directory in question. Type:
      
           DIR x:\ /S /P <Enter>
      where x is the drive you want to examine. As the directories
      scroll by one page at a time, note the number of files contained
      in each.
      
      Break up or remove the directory containing 2000 or more files
      
      When you find the directory containing 2000 or more files, do one
      of the following:
      
       1.  Make a temporary subdirectory to move files into. Move (or
           copy then delete) enough files from the original directory
           to the temporary directory to bring the number in each to
           well under 2000.
           
       2.  Alternatively, back up the data in the directory containing
           the 2000 or more files and then delete the files from the
           directory. Make sure you have backed up the files if you
           want to keep them. Make sure you are in the directory where
           you want to delete the files and then type:
                   DEL *.* <Enter>
           This will remove all the files in that directory from the
           drive.
           
      Run Stacker Setup again
      
      Run the Stacker Setup. After Stacker has been installed you may
      restore the directory structure.
      
       1.  If you used the first method above, you may move (or copy)
           the files from the temporary directory back to the original
           directory. You may then remove the temporary directory and
           its contents.
       2.  If you used the second method above, you may now restore the
           backed up data to the original directory.
