Folks, While running this beautiful combination of OS and the Geoscience app (Oasis montaj that is), i ran into the followings and would like to share them with the list; 1. Any idea what happened to the "set geotemp=driveletter:\geotemp"! Historically this was a Geosoft specific modification to "autoexec.bat" from the legendary SUSHI era under DOS. Still, when installing Oasis montaj under Windows 9.x, NT, W2K, a dialog box asks for the location of the geotemp directory. So it wants to know where you want to set it up. BUT under W2K, after installation, when you go to the "Control Panel | System | Environment Variables", you ain't find it! Honest with the list, i still don't trust GUI interface (could be hidden somewhere), i went to the Command Prompt and typed "set", it ain't there! Now i am confident that geotemp is not there! Some from the list would say, Hey Paul; software works fine, why are you digging deep? Sorry, i don't know the answer ... 2. You might remember Tom's little recipe for the Ruler on the RMC (Right Mouse Click), It does load the menu, but does not appears on the RMC in Oasis montaj under W2K. It worked fine under both 9.x and NT. TOM, this is your call; i think you should throw some magic codes into that old recipe to make it work with W2K. 3. Last but not the least, What is the deal with SUSHI under W2K? i really don't use SUSHI, but frequently use the command line to execute Geosoft commands and Mapview for quick viewing of Geosoft grids. I have always liked running Geosoft (SUSHI/DOS) under Oasis montaj to have the best of two worlds. I tried configuring the plotting menu before installing Oasis montaj (mainly for the screen resolution of Mapview), but my old friend Mr. Mapview hanged on me and left me with only one option to access my PC all over again (reSET button - in today's laptops that is inserting a pencil tip into a hole which is labelled "reSET" - frankly i have no idea what it does to the PC, but it certainly is better than unplugging, i figured!) Humour aside, i don't think this has anything to do with Geosoft. Microsoft has removed and is in the process of removing the LEGENDARY DOS from the next generation Windows! i will mourn forever. TOM, do somethin' about it buddy, i beg you. G' weekend everybody, --mansour...
