So, although the files seem to be in the right place, mathematica will not access them. Is there some other path-variable that I need to set, e.g. a variable containing the default-path for packages or something like that? Also, you might want to know that this package did run under earlier versions of mathematica, and, was designed for mathematica 4, I think.

Hello Dietmar,
you should try
1.) SetDirectory instead of setDirectory
2.) "C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\rosenthal..." instead of
"C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\rosenthal..."
(see section 2.8.6 in "The Mathematica Book")
Hope, that helps,
Peter
