There are a couple of alternatives, however, which work regardless of the CCP being used: 1) create a $$$.SUB file (on the correct drive) which contains the command line. See SUPERSUB.ASM or SUB2.ASM (in the ZCPR2 set) for details. Note that the option to execute disk-based command files has to be turned on for ZCPR2. 2) write a CHAIN routine, which loads the FCBs, TBUFF area, and program, and then chains to it as tho the CCP loaded the program -- the new SYSLIB will have this facility in two forms: one for conventional CP/M and the other for ZCPR2 with the MCL facility; I haven't released the new SYSLIB yet, but it will probably go out in a month or so (if all goes well) Rick
