Dave: Yeah, I'd be glad to upload the NT stuff. I was p-o'ed that they weren't on DPS's BBS, when I had heard they were, and on a hunch, checked out the FTP site. There aren't any docs w/ them, but here's some of what I found: 1)When you de-compress them, two dir's are created: DLLS and DRIVERS. The DLLS dir contains 1 file. I copied that to my WINNT35\system32 dir. I put the other files in a PARNT dir. I used RUN to start the PAR.EXE program, and it said something about the .DLL not being properly installed, but then it apparently took care of whatever needed to be done. 2)DO NOT select the UNERASE option off of the next to last pull-down! When I did, it threw me out to a white-on-blue text screen, and locked up the machine. To get NT working again, I had to use the "LAST KNOWN GOOD SETUP" option! 3)On the VCR controls, there are single-frame forward and reverse buttons — but they act weird. Clicking once will cause the movement for 4-6 frames, not one — and then just sliding the pointer across the button makes it visually depress, but with no action. Clicking on any button then stops this from happening. I'm uploading the file, called PANTI136.EXE, to Lib 3, Hware/OpSys/Video. Good luck. Dave
