Gregory: <<If there is a reproducible case, it can be fixed.>> I agree, but all I get from DPS is lip service. They reason that if THEY can't reproduce it, it must not be THEIR problem. That attitude is naive at best. Are you able to produce the problem? Also, re copying from DOS not being the recommended method for PAR access: This has worked well with me in my current configuration, so I am inclined to stay with it. I am using old (version 1.09) software with raft of bugs, but they are relatively benign bugs that I have work-arounds for. Most of my work-arounds involve copy to/from DOS. I would be interested in situations that you know of where a DOS copy, either direction, causes problems. Finially, software has to jump through a lot of hoops to access a SCSI or network drives, yet it hasn't cost me any data! Thanks! Cal
