Some time ago there were a number of postings concerning getting catalogs of disk into files. At the time I didn't think I would ever need to do this again with DOS 3.3 (or even in BASIC for that matter). I pulled out my old falling apart copy of _Beneath_Apple_DOS_ but didn't find the solution to my problem and I'm in kind of a hurry to find an answer. I tried this but it threw me into the monitor after creating the file with a catalog listing: 10 D$ = CHR$(4) 20 PRINT D$"OPEN CAT" 30 PRINT D$"WRITE CAT" 40 CALL 42350 50 PRINT D$"CLOSE CAT" This worked for me at one point last week. I have no idea what it was that I did then, but it won't work now. I don't wish to start up the whole discussion again, so I mail might be better than posting replies. I hope someone can help. -Larry
