Hey… My cutomer is bleeding on the floor. Why would the join / append not work on one system, but then do it up on another? Are some updated drivers about, just waiting for a download or two…? Can you help me, oh god of the PAR? When the going gets tough, call a friend… Dr Pixel

Dr. Dan-the-man: Assuming that you have the most recent PAR files (the first ones had a JOIN bug), you should be fine. Remember the way the PAR works internally. Each file must be contiguous. To do a join to the last two files takes only a second. To join to the first file on your disk can take a while, because it must physically move the files around next to each other. The other trick is to optimize the disk before doing a join. Did you ever get the Fast Electronics dealership? Greg Pyros

Wow. You are fast. Does this mean if I get a Fast dealership… I get you? Thanks for the info. I am in love with the Par. Unhealthy Dr Pixel

>> Well, you definitely get Gus (but I wouldn't wish being GG's Fast >> dealer on anyone, even you…) Well, they're banning assault weapons. That should make a FAST dealer's life a little safer… <g>
