I have since unarchived the source of safixname.c and defined a missing pointer (Jim Goodnow from Manx explained this to me) and VersaTerm works just fine with RamDisk. I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect that this is the reason MacWorks on the Lisa didn't work as well. All in all Aztec C68k is a great package. A person can do REAL development on a 2 disk 128k Mac. If just the Resource Editor was completed... maybe Jan '85... Lonnie Abelbeck mhuxi!aluxe!lra
