Consider: The only way the same program can load into both machines is if it is loaded at boot time (file systems are different, so loading by dos is not possible). This means you have to reboot to use it. Thats fine for a single tasking computer like the ST, but a no-no for the Amiga. -- : Michael Gersten ihnp4!hermix!ucla-an!remsit!stb!michael : uunet!scgvaxd!stb!michael : "A hacker lives forever, but not so his free time"
