I found the only way to do this was to create a copy of the system file and use Font/DA Mover to delete all of the desk accessories and fonts from that file. It should then be small enough to copy to the Transfer disk. You can then create another transfer disk with Font and DA files containing the deleted fonts and DAs. Then boot up A-Max from the first transfer disk, create an A_Max format disk, copy over the system file, and run Font/DA mover to copy the missing fonts and DAs into the system file. It's clumsy, but you only have to do it once and you don't need a Mac drive. Good luck! ________________________ Bob Fillmore, Systems Software & Communications BITNET: FILLMORE@EMRCAN Computer Services Centre, BIX: bfillmore Energy, Mines, & Resources Canada Voice: (613) 992-2832 588 Booth St., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1A 0E4 FAX: (613) 996-2953
