Lines: 26 I have just ftp'ed lenmsp41.zoo from devax.jpl.... and unpacked it on my PC. It appears to work fine. Thanks! Just one question. Is there and equivalent of #!.../perl for MS dos .bat files? I had some example files from a previous release of msperl (which I deleted since I don't have MS C) and these had some stuff: @REM=(" @perl 0%.bat ... @end=") or some such incantation that would appear to be trying to invoke perl. I can not find anything in my DOS manual about this.(Surprise!) Can some kind soul enlighten me please. BTW I tried to invoke the bat file and got screeds of errors. I am sure it never got anywhere near perl! Cheers Russell. -- Russell Fulton, Computer Center, University of Auckland, New Zealand.
