I know Driver is intended to run under MasterDos but I tried it the other day with BDOS and was surprised that it partially worked. It boots up into the filemanager with windows and menus and the mouse working. A window will come up for Floppy Drive 1 and also Floppy Drive 2 with the name of the current BDOS record. You can close the windows as long as you don't try to empty the waste basket which causes a crash. You can return to BASIC change the BDOS record and re-enter Driver with the keyword "Driver". BUT there are no icons in the floppy windows so you can't start any programs. I imagine it has something to do with the MasterDos sub- directories which BDOS does not have. Has anybody ever tried to adapt it to BDOS ? Just curious ! John Avis ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!
