Fern, There are lots of files in the WB you can delete (copy of WB!). In the C: directory get rid of EDIT, a larger and cumbersome text editor, as well as DiskDoctor (I call it DiskQuack). In system directory get rid of most everything you don't use on a daily basis, same in utilities and to make a boot disk with just POING on it you can make a really stripped down WB and delete both of those directories. In LIBS get rid of translator.library (unless Poing speaks), in L get rid of speak-handler. The C directory holds the most and many of the commands are not needed to get your Amiga (and) game running. You can edit the startup-sequence to just a single line like: loadwb be sure to leave LoadWB in the C directory The Pool.LHZ has a file called Billiards.INF this is the icon, rename it to be BILLIARDS.INFO Here are a couple of the tricks I used to use to beat the disk swapping and disk full problems. First if you have any extra ram make the ram: disk like Betty suggested. Second, format a floppy disk and Label it C [C], with that name it will override the C: assignment of the c directory on you WB disk. So when you need a command you don't have on the WB but on your C disk swap disks type the command you need plus a space and a question mark. Example: (don't use this on LHA) AM-102:4> dir ? [You'll see the next line of text appear] DIR,OPT/K,ALL/S,DIRS/S,FILES/S,INTER/S: Now swap disks, put the one in you want to look at and finish the command string. DIR,OPT/K,ALL/S,DIRS/S,FILES/S,INTER/S: DF0:DL Now you'll read the DL directory of the other disk that isn't the WB. Same for Copy AM-102: 4>copy ? FROM/M,TO/A,ALL/S,QUIET/S,BUF=BUFFER/K/N,CLONE/S,DATES/S,NOPRO/S,COM/S,NOREQ/S: swap disks and finish the command ram:Billiards df0: What your doing is loading the command but not applying it immediately, this way you have time to swap disks and force the command on a different disk.
