It's not fair! I /just/ discovered a wonderful Init which sets the paths visible from any application - so the application can be on one disk, and the data files it opens on another. Remembers where you'd saved before, too. I gather there's another (Boomerang?) as well as DFaultD, the Init I had.. the unfair part is that no sooner had I discovered this boon that I upgraded to system 7.0 - and my wonderful Init didn't work any more. Please, O Knowledgeable Ones - is there any way of duplicating this great path-setting routine under 7.0? Has there been an upgrade to DFaultD since 2.03, which is the one I have... or is life not fair? No, no! - duncan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- duncan langford university of kent at canterbury, UK dl1@ukc.ac.uk -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just sent Jon Gotow, author of DfaultD sys 7.0 last week... no idea when he'll have a 7.0 version ready. Yeah, I *really* miss it, too...

If I appear to be flaming, either (a) it's an illusion due to the lack of nonverbal cues or (b) my sprinkler system has suffered a momentary glitch, so just ignore me until it's fixed.
