All I got was the config.sys and at the bottom of the mail was a message from Juno telling me that the attachment couldn't be included. It also says I need to download the new version with attachment features and that they are holding on to my attachments somewhere. Heh, on the Juno_Accmail list they call it a ransom note. :-) Pretty silly since the new versions only work with Win95. Reckon I better resubscribe to the list using another account. >DEVICE=C:\CDPRO\VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:MSCD002 /P:1F0,14 /P:170,15 /P:1E8,12 >/P:168,10 > For curiosity's sake, what do all the /P parms do? --- Marc D.
