Since you are obviously unfamiliar with the DOS command line and it's services (like the edit program) I suggest another route. In Windows Explorer, find the folder where your installed Analog. Find the file in that folder called analog.cfg. If you double click this file Windows will probably give you a list of programs asking you which you want to use to run it. Choose Notepad. When notepad opens, add the command "ERRFILE errors.txt" to the file. Save your changes. Run Analog by double clicking the analog.exe icon. When it's done (the window will close), open the errors.txt file that it created in the same folder and look at the messages. Now that you have something to go on, take a look at the Analog documentation (in the docs folder where Analog is installed) for tips on what to do with the problems that it has. You might also want to read the file called startpc.html which lays this all out in details. -- Jeremy Wadsack Wadsack-Allen Digital Group +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | This is the analog-help mailing list.
