That way we could beat eachother up with questions and not bother the general list. ;-) I've been looking at the code just trying to understand where things are, and most of it makes sense to me (I've written a FAT 12 and FAT 16 DOS once before). I need to get it out on paper and eyeball the whole structure. Jordan, Robert, what do you say? I could bring up another machine just for this purpose. -->Neil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synthcom System's homepage: http://www.synthcom.com/ Europa Upgrade, Synth patches (D-50, Xpander/Matrix 12), used gear pricelist
