Don, I have a 40 meg drive in both the Sperry-IT, and the ACER 1100. I don't think its the disk drive because the file is normally about 100 bytes in size. Just today I had a client call me who is using the software on a Compaq 386/20, (I'm not sure what size disk), and he had a case of the dreaded 0 byte file! But…. He also kept getting out ostring space errors. Could it be that AutoLISP is almost out of string space, but not enough to tell you, then half way through writing my file it runs out, and then dies in the process??? This way it would never tell me that it is out of string space, and it just trashes that file??? I ddon't know. At this point I'll accept any theory! —Mike
