If I may hazard a guess here after scanning all the source except WATTCP.lib, I'd say that a routine in WATTCP scans the vector space for likely candidates and checks to see if any of the candidates points to a valid packet driver. It then would save a pointer to this vector in memory for it's own future reference in the current session. Or not. <G> Confirmation most gratefully requested. Re: the 0x60 _SOFT_coded into Arachne.bat and Arachne.cfg, this is pretty dumb, but at least you can change them. ;-) - Clarence Verge -- - Help stamp out FATWARE.
