No.  You need to reassing the FONTS: assignment. For a list of all
the "system" assignments you need to make, boot from a vanilla
workbench disk, get to the CLI, and type "assign" by itself.
All the directories it shows need to be reassinged to your
hard disk.

There is a program I have which came from my CLtd controller software disk
which I *think* is PD. I'm sure there is a PD one out there somewhere.

>Can you do this from Workbench somehow?

Yes.  Read you enhancer manual about "iconx".  You can run CLI scripts
from the workbench by giving them a project icon with the default tool
set to "C:ICONX".  There are probably better ways to do this too.

If DPaint is all you are worried about, you can change the fonts: assignment
with the requestor inside dpaint III.   -- Darren
