Chris, Like I said, I hit the print gadget by accident. I had to reboot the computer to shut the #!&^ program off. As soon as I get Portable ZIP running, PKAZIP is going to NIL:. As for the WB interface to PKAZIP, I consider it a nuisance. I'd rather have a CLI interface for that type of program anyway. Actually, the best thing would be both: A CLI-driven main program, and an Intuition front end that is separately callable. That way folks who like the WB can use it. I use both, a great deal. I often wind up with several shells and workbench operations running all at the same time. Makes things interesting, I've gotta admit! 🙂 I think that's one of the Amiga's great strengths, really, that it gives the user his or her choice of interfaces, not one or the other. –dds (dales@teksce.SCE.TEK.COM) Whappeta-whappeta-Whap!
