Do I have to create a new Browse.idx file every time I search a map directory on a CD rom which has no index written into it? Is it not possible to store a brower indexfile for a CD rom map directory somewhere on the hard disk? This would save time, if I could figure out how. Thanks, Peter Landeck

<< Is it not possible to store a brower indexfile for a CD rom map directory somewhere on the hard disk?>> Yes it is. Here are instructions. To create a non-resident index file: 1. Use browse (next to SINGLE) to select a search path on your (non TU) CD-ROM. 2. select DO SEARCH. You should get a window with a series of X's in the graphics display. 3. Select Build index. Make sure the path you select is the same as the path in the Search Path(s) window. 4. Press OK, it will prompt you "Can't create index file". Select Continue. It should then prompt you "Would you liketo create a non-resident index file?" Select OK. 5. TU should then build the index, for the drive on your CD-ROM, placingit in a local drive. 6. Select Do Search, and you should now have images in the Window.
