Well, I've heard that it'll work on anything but a 1000. I keep getting people telling me you need the 1-meg Agnus, but the more reliable people I've talked to tell me that isn't true. I'm still waiting to see if any official information on that gets posted. >Second, is it possible to assign a logical device name (like fonts:) to >more than one directory.

You can't do that with AmigaDOS, but there's a program called PathAss that lets you do it. I got mine from Compuserve; I don't know if it was ever on a Fish disk or not. If you can't find it anywhere, I suppose I could mail it to you. I really haven't tested it much though. -- * From the disk of: | jms@vanth.uucp | "Speeding through the Jim Shaffer, Jr. | amix.commodore.com!vanth!jms | universe, Thinking is 37 Brook Street | uunet!cbmvax!amix!vanth!jms | the best way to travel."
