Well thats it for the Special Functions, I hope you find this of use :-) I have been trying to find out more info on the company producing this MAC emulator as I would love to get hold of it for my Amiga. Does anyone know if they are going to do it or not? If they are not, then I would be very interested in converting it for them as I am a programmer by trade. Any help with this quest would be much appreciated. My full email address is aaron@hatstand.demon.co.uk Later Aaron
