Hi there, The other day I downloaded Taglink.EXE (IBM) and I ran into a major problem Let me explain: I was using windows 3.1 and ran a DOS window (I forget the correct term for it). Then thinking that TAGLINK was a self extracting archive I ran it. The next thing I knew the window closed, I got a memory error and my computer locked up. Well...I had no choice but to reboot the machine. I then got an error message saying something like "system is missing". In a panic I called a friend and using Norton 7.0 (I use DOS 6.0 ) we were able to get the machine working again. The file somehow corrupted the FAT structure on the hard drive. I don't know what went wrong and I will not even attempt to use taglink again. Whether this occurred because it was done through windows or because I ran a file that works within endnote does not alleviate the fact that this occurred. I am writing this as a warning to others who may make the same mistake as I did and to let Avi (at Niles) know that there is a bug somewhere in the program that should be corrected. Other than that I still use Endnote (my most valuable program) One question: My library is over 4 meg long. I would love to see a built in backup option in the next version of endnote which would have automatic compression. thanks =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= " David Kurzman | " " Department of Psychology | " " Concordia University | " " Editor of AGING (A Psycgrad Journal) | " " e-mail: DAVEK@VAX2.CONCORDIA.CA | " " s-mail: 6030 Cote St. Luc Rd. #202 Montreal, PQ H3X 2G7 " =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
