Donald, >> Are you running SERVER.EXE on the same machine(s) that you are using as slaves? I've got all machines set up running as servers. I have a collection of printers, scanners, dat back-up, etc. spread over all the computers and want total access. I can get the network operation I expected with any other dos or win application, except 3DS. Do you recommend setting up with one server and the rest slaves? I would appreciate any info you can pass on between the PAR and Lantastic. I had the same corruption problems and never did get it figured out. Here's another weird thing I hope I can describe. My Gateways have IDE drives; with PARDRV loaded, I could copy a tga file from one network C drive to the other network C drive, and it would go through the PAR tga translation. In other words, if the tga started out at 600k on one C drive, it would copy over to the other C drive (on the machine with the PAR) and magically turn into 1,082,898 (the size that the PAR exports). I could go into the PAR software and change the import/export settings, and change the way tgas copied over the network. This scared me so bad I have never loaded the PAR and Lantastic together again. Thanks for the support. byron engineering arts
