Not even that. All I ever do is click on the invisible close gadget when the credits stop scrolling by. Oh, and it is one FANTASTIC demo. Took me a while to realize that the song the use is the same one MAX Headroom was in.

From time to time, I find myself wanting to abate the pride of IBM types by showing them the NewTek demo, but I haven't got a second 3.5" drive for my A2000. I made a naive attempt to create two directories on the A2000's hard drive, each containing the contents of one of the original floppies. I provided a script file to ASSIGN the complete pathnames of these directories to the volume names used on the NewTek floppies. When I attempt to run the rascal, it doesn't work very well; for example, Maxine's voice can be heard, but her little image isn't on the screen. Also, the demo terminates after displaying a couple of the DigiPaint pictures. Can anyone provide the correct incantations for running the demos from hard disk? Prematurely grateful, Brian Rhodefer

How about from a ram disk, for that matter? (and how much memory does it need to run? how big a ram disk will it need?) David Carter gt4785b@pyr.gatech.edu
