It was going to be a big suprise but you ruined it. The H doesn't stand for HIDDEN, it's for HAYNIE. Get a program written by Dave Haynie. Now set that bit on the program and on the file that you are going to do the operation on. Now run the program. See? Dave magically appears in your living room. I just did it myself. Hey! Stay away from my beer! Hey! I don't want to watch that! Quit changing the channels! Hey! Damn! Does anyone have the patches to RemRad to convert it to RemDave? I missed that one in comp.sources.amiga. :-) -Tom P.S. Don't you love when a rumor column in a PC rag tries to predict what will be in the A3000? The NeXT machine includes the complete works of William Shakesphere, right? Well a very reliable source told me that the A3000 will have the complete works of Shakesphere's younger brother Marty. Now Marty wasn't as famous, but the A3000 isn't going to be as expensive as a NeXT machine. Don't believe me? But... but... but... it was in rumor-rag-o-rama...! -- Tom Limoncelli Drew University Madison NJ 201-408-5389 tlimonce@drunivac.Bitnet limonce@pilot.njin.net "Fences make good neighbors" -Frost "I want an MMU" -Me Standard disclaimer?
