He said naming the group never occurred to him. Anyways, he said to keep the letters coming... He found the SetSerial program on a demo disk last night, and got the source from the tech BBS, too. He downloaded a full IBM disk of software from there last night, and plans to move it to Amiga format soon. Any developer who wants a copy of the IBM disk can send him a floppy and mailer, and he'll copy it, or you can wait for the Amiga format. He found Icon.Editor and Font.Editor on one disk, but the directory entries said 'empty', and DiskEd probing discovered that those sectors were bad for both files... Is there some kind of copyprotect scheme going on? The same 'empty' entry shows up on his Mandril demo... He'll go back to the dealer where he got the demo disks, and see if they are on the originals. I saw the stuff he downloaded. It sure looks good - all sorts of examples, AmigaDOS V1.0 and below. There was a full image editor there, and timer and playfield and BOB demos, the "dotty window" source, things like that. Rick
