I can't help the first poster with DM, but F-18 is easy to fix. First, the standard notice: DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR ORIGINAL. USE A COPY. The F-18 disk is not copy protected in any way (yay) but there are hardcoded calls to DF0: all over the code. So all you have to do is load the 300+K executable into a text editor which won't choke on it like Cygnus Ed and replace all instances of the four characters "DF0:" with whatever else you want (same length!). I used "F18:" and then simply assigned F18: to the directory on my HD where I put the files. Make sure you're not going through replaceing them yourself - get the text editor to do it, that way you're sure you haven't changed anything else. If you keep it the same length, it will still work. Note that there are around 33 occurances of the text "DF0:" in the file. That's it - nobody told me how to do it, I just had a hunch and it worked, so others may tell you differently. Don't forget to copy the stuff in the subdirectories. . <<<>>> -- .---------------------------------------------------------------------------. |Ben Scott, professional goof-off and consultant at The Raster Image, Denver| |Amiga UUCP node domain: bscott@vila.denver.co.us Else: bscott@nyx.cs.du.edu| |FIDO point address 1:104/421.2, or call the Arvada 68K BBS at (303)424-9831| |"Don't embarrass us..."
