I just D/L'd Virus Checker 6.41. I used the install command, and found the VC icon, and the VC guide icon in my HD window, and not in any drawer. Previously, I had followed the old instructions, which, according to the current docs still works, that is, to just drag the VC icon into the WB-Startup window. Anyone have any idea why this occurred? I tried to click on the VC Guide icon and was told that the sys couldn't locate "fullview" which is okay since I don't have it. So, the obvious question is, where do I get it, and where do I put it?

Lewis, I don't know about the install utility with VC 6.41 since I haven't downloaded and installed that version yet. However, the problem with the VCguide file is because the default tool of the icon is set to use a "reader" that can read amigaguide text. If you have another reader such as "amigaguide" itself or "MultiView", you can simply change the tool type by single clicking on the VCguide icon, and selecting "information" from the ICON pulldown menu of workbench and editing the tool type. I have also been using another utility thats called "Mindicator", it installs during startup and leaves an icon on your workbench screen, you can drag text and amigaguide files on it and it will read them appropriately. Another utility I have installed intercepts default tool types and uses the tool type I want. In other words I have it setup so that any text file that uses anything other than Multiview as its default tool, actually uses Multiview without me having to change the default tool of every text file on my system. If I change my mind and want to use a new reader, I only have to change the setting in this utility and not every text file on my harddisk. I don't know which version of workbench you have, I believe that 2.1+ came with amigaguide, I'm not sure about 2.04, its been awhile since I ran that version. browse the library's with the keyword "guide", that should give you a list of files that will help you out. if you don't have "Amigaguide.library" in your libs directory, you might have to download the "amigaguide" file as well. =Rick=
