Yes indeed, that seems to have done it. Going into the directory and running romalizer from there works. Chris, it looks like we're rapidly running out of headroom under bash. How much re-designing would it take to incorporate some kind of an internal processor and configuration screen so that instead of running the thing from the command line (where bash seems to be getting in the way to some degree) one would fire the program up, answer a series of questions about what you want to do, and then romalizer could do the actual processing internally without depending on bash. Would that be possible? A side-effect would also be to make the program a bit simpler to understand, I suppose. _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
