OK, that version seems small enough for me. Please zip it up and send it to me and I'll see what I can do with it. Its too bad about the limitation that it doesn't read and write files. So far I haven't come across any information on how to install programs on my BasicLinux system. Hopefully all I will have to do is to copy the executable program and the documentation into its own directory, as with DOS. BTW, I don't know what an RPM file is. Is it some kind of a file archive like a ZIP file or an LHA or a GZ? Sam Heywood -- This message sent by BasicLinux
