RE FlyerProc Bad news & good news The macro is flakey, but there are somethings to make it work. Shell operation seems more dependable. The following is not extensively tested yet, but: whether running it from shell or within Flyer you must type the drives names in capitals (ie FLYERA0:) At the requestor from within the Flyer, you must type the drive name as part of the full path, even if you double-click the crouton to select the file. I think you must be sure the destination file does not already exist. To do reverse, the – alone does not work. But it will work if you type -x1 to indicate single speed reverse. To get to the SHELL: open your WorkBench partition (whatever your's is called), then open the System Drawer. Inside you'll see a file labled SHELL–double click to open the Amiga's "command line interface". You have a prompt in this window at which you type the commands. You must select the window with the mouse before you can type, but within the window the mouse does not work. Use arrow keys L & R to edit on a line. Whether from the Shell or within the Flyer, once FlyerProc starts up you will see a Shell window on the Amiga Workbench screen that prints out a line as it writes each field to the drive. When FlyerProc works it looks nice and it's quick (relatively), -dean
