I'm not sure if it's the same on Amiga, but on AROS, the .info files are icons as well as other meta information for other files. All informations should be text files, possibly formatted in AmigaGuide (which look, at first glance, something like texinfo files). Other than that, thanks, I'll take a look ;) Johann -- johann myrkraverk com (you know the drill with the @ and .) I classify Outlook mail as spam, use something else.

I'll need to create a Makefile (autoconf simply won't do, IMHO, to cross compile) and somewhere I need to put the screen painting code for AROS. > You'd probably have more luck with NCurses. Not sure, though I think I have a version that was supposedly ported to Amiga once, the code might be a lot more complicated, or something. It probably depends on which version is easier to compile. Johann P.S. The console support in AROS is currently very broken, so I might give up, or fix it. -- johann myrkraverk com (you know the drill with the @ and .)
