Dear SYSOP; Having problems setting up AmiTCP, although I think it is with my system rather than the program its self. I keep trying to install the program, but I keep getting an "Insert Volume AmiTCP" message. First off, all of my TCP stuff is on a hard disk, no partitions. There is a tool on the disk named AmiTCP, but I have no idea what that means. I've tried everything I could think of. Searching through the file lists with the shell, carefully altering the user-startup and some other text files. I even re-initialized the entire disk (no big loss, I just down- loaded the files I lost again). Nothing worked. Very frustrating. I have heard that AmiTCP is hard to install. I tried looking at the text files from the library, but couldn't find anything for my specific problem. If you have any idea what's going on, please let me know. Sincerely, Derrick White

Derrick, The best advice I can give you is to download IINST151.LHA from the libraries here – Library 4, I think. If not, then Library 5. This is a script that will install all of the internet software for you – and will tell you exactly which files you need to download before doing the installation. Most folks here have found it makes things really easy. —Betty

PMFJI, It sounds like you have not made your ASSIGNs for AMITCP: and possibly AMITCP:bin. Put an ASSIGN AMITCP: DH0:amitcp in your user-startup. Remember to replace DH0: with the drive and drawer you put the AMITCP in. Roy Nash 70662,747 A500 Flyng High on AutoPilot
