Make a folder with 'well-behaved' DAs and another folder with the 'bad-guys'. A lot of people load the DMC-laserbrain with Chameleon even knowing that they can't unload it (because it does not following the XBRA-rules...). Loading the printer-driver at boot time costs a lot of memory. If you load it with Chameleon, you only loose this memory if you really want to print something... They install 2 or 3 Chameleon's, one only for the laserbain, the other two for loading/unloading DAs. If Chameleon is propperly installed under GEMINI, you just have to double-click onto a DA-file or icon to load it via Chameleon. Karsten Isakovic
