Commodore has always supplied excellent technical support as to good programming practises and what will cause software to break in a future release. Although I agree with that it wasn't necessary (no software EVER is), It is certainly NOT guarantted to cause grief to properly written software. Since 1.0, volume labels (and file names) have allowed embedded blanks. Because you purchased a piece of software that did not properly support AmigaDos file specifications does not give you the right to flame Commodore. Instead, direct your complaints against the software developers for not properly supporting the file system. .../Ed (EWilts%Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA@UncaNet.Bitnet) Ed Wilts Sr. Systems Analyst, Canadian Occidental Petroleum Ltd.
