I do the floppies from a Win95 prompt... I'll try from real DOS asap.

I don't know if it called makeflp.bat or not (but makeflp.bat was in the dir with setup on the CD) > Is your floppy drive a standard 3.5" 1.44mb or one of the new L120's?

I think I'll go get rid of that... > I don't know, any other questions guys? The more the merrier! :) > Tom Thanks for the help, Tom :) -Andrew Kaufmann
