Please take it as such. In fact it pertains more to puttrax than to the BrunoMbox demo. This demo is posted in puttrax format. Be careful when unpacking it. The puttrax.lzh "dearchiver" has no docs with it. I ran puttrax with no arguments to see what it wanted (I know... asking for trouble) and it gurued after printing a usage "puttrax " message. Reboot. Then the bad part... the command: puttrax BrunosMusicbox20019.trax (for example) immediately begins writing the contents of the given file, track by track, to df0:. No prompts, no "Are you sure?", just trashed workbench!!! Perhaps there are docs somewhere, but it's a little late for that now. -- - Scott ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ M.
