Then, make a subdirectory of that directory that must be named SYS. Next copy all of the files *except* cwp.exe into the SYS subdirectory. The overlay message appears because the program looks for the overlays to be in SYS. Twould have been nice if the author would have supplied this piece of rather important information in his message to the moderator. Also, judging from the extensive spelling and combinatorial rules involved to use the package properly, the documentation is indispensible. Question: why do we have to use "iu" for umlaut and then "iou" for "iu" ??? Why not just use "yu" for umlaut so we don't have to chain through the pinyin system modifying it all to hell??? Why, or why, do we have to use letters rather than numbers for the tones??? What is the logic behind the selection of letters? Knowing the logic might help in remembering all these special codes.... CWP is certainly not what I would call "user friendly", and a far cry from being intuitive. But it certainly beats doing without :-). -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy Schmidt | #include Indiana University | /* They are _my_ thoughts, and you can't Graduate School of Business | have them, so there! */
