That suggests that it's probably done "right", just using more obscure features or hammering things a bit. While asking whether Myst _needed_ to do things that way is a good question, it looks likely that most of the problems may lie with third party drivers that don't do what they're expected to. (OTOH, it's annoying that Myst seems to be so insistent on up-to-date drivers - lots of other CDs managed to cope with my old drivers) -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | Jerry Cullingford #include +44 442 230000 x3875| ,-|-- | jc@crosfield.co.uk jc@selune.demon.co.uk jerry@shell.portal.com | \_|__ +-----(Work)--------------(Home)--------------(another alternate)--+ \___/
