Firstly, thanks to tips from this forum, I was able to upgrade my 8310 to OS 4.5, which gave me access to applications I needed. Thanks.
However, I'm stumped on this bbmaps issue, which I had running before and which I also need.
I'm a novice, but it appears that when I installed 4.5, it upgraded my version of bbmaps, which now is blocked.
I did find two versions of 4.2, both of which I tried installing to my computer at different times. But in both instances, I couldn't find any directory containing the 4.2 files on the computer after what purported to be a successful installation.
As for these instructions:

.... Replace the LBS.alx file with the file from a 4.2 installation and copy all of the modules (cod files) with "lbs" in them from the 4.2 installation to the 4.5 java folder. Then run app manager.

Since I can't find the directory, I can't locate those files. And I can't find them in the existing version of 4.5 I have installed, either.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
