So I don't think it is your 2000's fault. Did you change anything else? If you want, send me a some e-mail with all the details and I will be happy to try and help you track down your problem. -- Dan Schein uucp: {ihnp4|allegra|burdvax|rutgers}!cbmvax!schein Commodore AMIGA Bix: dschein Plink: Dan*CATS 1200 Wilson Drive phone: (215) 431-9100 ext. 9542 West Chester PA 19380 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ All spelling mistakes are a result of my efforts to avoid education :-) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ I help Commodore by supporting the AMIGA.

Works for me. Seriously, check to make sure that your .profile file hasn't been mangled, and make sure you've got shellrun in your C: directory.
