double workforce bug

Hi,
I have a question about the solution of the double workforce bug in CAM.
I found the following description how to solve this problem:

-Go to C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe and select SimCity_1.dat. Copy this file to your plugins folder and make a special folder called SimCity_1.
-Go to a_Cam in your plugins folder and select.. oh, I forgot what its called. It'll be a dat, the largest one in the folder, and it'll say CAM in it. I no longer "have" this file, as it will be integrated into SimCity_1. Just move it into the same folder as the SimCity_1.dat file is in. Now rename it to have a z_ in front of the name. AKA, Cam.dat becomes z_Cam.dat
-Copy SimCity_1.dat and rename it to SimCity_1.bak. Put it somewhere safe; where you'll remember in case you need it. Do the same for the cam file if you don't want to re-install it later if necessary.
-Use DatPacker 2008 [ NOT ANNIVERSARY ] and datpack the SimCity_1 folder. Move this file into the -Go to C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe directory again and make sure its called SimCity_1.dat.
-Delete the folder SimCity_1.dat.

But it doesn't seem to work when I try this. The only thing I'm not sure of is the datpacking. I opened datpacker, selected the subfolder SimCity_1.dat I made in de plugin folder and then clicked start. After that hij moved the new file from the compressedfolder to the Simcity folder. I made a back up of the old Simcity_1.dat en moved it, the same with cam.dat.

Does the demandcrash in the CO, CS and I start immediately when the game starts? Cause in my city nothing changes.

Anyone an idea what I'm doing wrong?

I just noticed that de totalworkforce in repository is half as much in the second image, that's the situation where I combined Simcity_1.dat with cam.dat.
But nothing changes when I run the city a couple of years. The demand CO&I remains high.

Er, I see no difference in Workforce?
Anyway, the bug doesn't quite disapear in old cities. The local workforce will be fixed, but not the regional one, for some reason.
As to those high demands: Well, you seem to have regional unemployment, which will probably mean regional demand for IND and COM. So it could be just a normal part of the simulation.  ()what()
