I formatted my floppies with DR-DOS 7.03, it seems this won't work. I only come to an A: prompt that way. Since you said autoexec.bat I formatted them with a m$dos 6.22 bootdisk, now they work! To be a little picky, is there a simple way to use the DR-DOS format. Thanks Again, Rob: -- Life is short, live now, live fast! -- Arachne V1.70;rev.3, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
