Last night I had a chance to run Megamax 2.1 on a Mac 512 with HD20. Forget it. The editor seemed to work fine (meaning it was written with NAME/VOLNO instead of VOLNAME:NAME code). However, the "Transfer" menu bombed with an unable to launch error. More significantly, I could not get it to find the include files on the HD20, no matter how hard I tried. Placing them in the top directory didn't work, nor did #include "hd20:mm:headers:event.h" I finally gave up, unplugged the HD20 and added another floppy. I was back to being able to do useful work. I have no idea what MM's policy will be, but any company that charges more than $5/disk for an HFS-compatible upgrade has got a lot of balls! -- Joel West (619) 457-9681 CACI, Inc. Federal, 3344 N.

I talked to Megamax earlier this month and they told me that a HFS version won't be ready until March (I wonder what takes them so long). Until then, I have everything I need in the root folder of my HD20 - include files, syslib, everything. This works fine except that 1) transfer will crash if you launch anything outside the root folder, and 2) batch always crashes. Marsh Gosnell ihnp4!lzma!mkg
