It seemed to me to be a silly, but easy, mistake on my part and now that ARP.LIBRARY goes into RAD:, there are no further problems. Further more, I realize many of you have hard disks, gobs of RAM, etc., but I don't believe John's post negated his right to be part of this net. Are we getting that high and mighty that we can't deal with the neophites (not that John is one, he's been around awhile) anymore????? Cheers, Dave CMSgt David K.
