Oops :-) I've done that. This is why there is an option to not create a temporary copy of the .lrp. This is a little risky on floppy since you're writing your .lrp straight to disk, but less so with a hard drive where media corruption is less likely. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture... _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
