Sort of related - - I've had one or two scary run-ins with my Hard Drive the past few weeks. It seems sometimes that the power supply is dipping (my guess), and this means it can't find sectors (??!) for some reason, and the entire DOS refuses to work. It's only happened a couple of times, but the result is truly ghastly. Is this healthy? Or safe? Or preventable? Edwin? Len? If it helps, I do also still get a high pitched whine coming through the monitor speakers from bad earthing or something like that. I've had to completely recover Open3D from an erased disk previously (hence the bad delay), so hats off to KE_Disk, the best program in the world..... ever! -howard=tobermory The NTICS Group: providers of Database Services to learndirect and Sheffield TEC.
