Make sure you have 6 spaces on each of those now. I know about this label thing because a guy where I work spent a couple hours trying to put his MS-DOS onto 1.2 and couldn't figure out why it kept asking him to insert disk 1 over and over. This was yesterday... Anyway, he said it's probably something stupid. I suggested the labels, and sure enough... :-) He felt stupid, alright! Mark C. "Bro!" Lowe - KB5III
