It's been my experience that Aldus does care about their users' problems, and does listen. Mark Sandrock (sandrock@b.scs.uiuc.edu) Standard disclaimer: I have no connection with Aldus except as a very satisfied customer of theirs (since Mac PM 1.2).

TALCUM POWDER ON THE DISK????????? Surely you jest!! Do you know what a tiny particle of that junk will do to both your media AND the read/write heads!!! Use talcum on ONE disk and before long, all of your disks will be wearing your heads so badly that you'll probably need a completely new drive VERY soon! And, of course, if you use any of the infected diskettes in the new drive, THEY will infect the new drive. I'd say keep that crap away from ANY system you use! Miles
