Ok…what am I doing wrong NOW!!? I download an AmigaBASIC file called DFONT.BAS List the sucker…looks fine. Run it…… Get a 'FILE NOT FOUND' error from basic. The line that the error occurs in reads as follows: LIBRARY "graphics.library" Ok…..wonder why it can't find it.Hmm..guess maybe I don't have it on this disk.Hmm…..Ok. HOWEVER!!!!…..follow this one….. Another file….a AmigaBASIC program,on the EXTRA DISK from CBM,called LIBRARY (its a font demo program)…… I load this baby…run it..and BINGO! NO PROBLEM! Guess what the FIRST program line in THIS file is??…. You Guessed it…. LIBRARY "graphics.library" HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?? How can it be found on the second program…and not on the first??!! Neither program seems to earch any particular directory for it..but I could be wrong.HELP!!! One other question….what are .fd files? How are they related to bmap files? Why do I have a graphics_lib.fd file on my WB disk but NO graphics.library file to be found.I DO have a graphics.bmap file on my EXTRA disk from CBM. How are these guys ALL related? Why is the sky blue Daddy? did we win the Vietnam War? Thanks, Al Saveriano
