MacTerminal 1.1 prints an alert box every time it starts up, forcing you to click OK before it will proceed, and Multiplan simply won't let you print, or even do a Page Setup (the options are dimmed). I can understand that this might be desirable on a one drive system, to avoid excessive swapping while printing, but it doesn't make sense for two drive systems. Is there any good reason why these applications can't look on the system disk for the Imagewriter file? Any way to fool them? cheers, -m-
