Does anyone own SHADOW (by Double Click Software, dist. by Antic Software),
the background file xfer desk accessory program yet?

I just recently bought it to effectively replace the one offered in Interlink
because of problems with that implementation.  Shadow is actually usable
(in contrast to Interlink with slows the system down and has problems with
keyboard buffering).  It's fast, reliable, and easy to use.

The problem I have is that for some reason, I can't install it on my 
autoboot hard drive.  When I perform the steps as listed in the manual,
and try booting the system, it just goes into an endless series of
reboots after the "Shadow initializing..." text comes on.

I believe the problem is in where SHADOW expects to find either
DESKTOP.INF or SHADOW.INF (in auto folder).  My guess is it always assumes
either file would be on drive A.  Kind of an inconvienence for me.


Any help from Paul Lee or Micheal Vederman (the developers)
would be greatly appreciated!

(I saw their announcement concerning support thru mail, but had difficulty
 getting their address... as I am fairly new to this world of netting.)
