Bailey, Thank you for the reply. You mentioned unzipint the tplus1.zip and tplus2.zip files out to floppies. Could I just copy them both to the C:\ drive and unzip and install from that directory or is the install routine written to look for the floppies as two seperate floppies on the A: or B: Drive? I have downloaded the tplus1 etc. files. BTW that was a 3 hour download which seemed unusually long is that the correct amount of time using the CompuServe Information Manager on a 2400 Baud Modem? You also said the Targa seemed slow compared to your VLB s3 805 board. It oughta really look slow next to his MGA VL board when that comes in! They'd buy a targa + replacement like the Illuminator Pro except for the fact they've invested in the Targa+ add-on software Like Inscriber and Rio and don't want to suffer any additional upgrade costs. It will probably be a mute point as we're going to be putting in an animation commander controller and running out single frame to a brand new JVC unit. How ever just in case they insist on running out real time with the targa for small animations I really need all the advice I can get on speeding up the process for them, as well as latest drivers and tips on creating flicker free animations under these circumstances. Again Thanks Bailey. I really appreciate the information. James M. Murphy
