Try setting your stack to AT LEAST 12000 (more like 20000) before you use the sh/shar program... More if you still have trouble. This should stop your GURU's (This is a known problem with "sh". It's a stack monger.) You might want to also set your stack to a level higher than 4000 in your startup-sequence, as your needs justify. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chad 'The_Walrus' Netzer -> AmigaManiac++ "Fat chance!!!" - William Tell's son
