Hello Kevin, > On my machine, ColorWorks won't even load!

I just noticed this! :/ You must be running the original 1.0 version. In that version we put the program directory in the PATH= statement only in the config.sys on program installation. For associations to work the program directory has to be put in the LIBPATH and the HELP path as well (that is all you have to do). All current versions of ColorWorks put the program directory in all three spots. > ..it's still a great program. :) Thanks BTW - Why are you still running 1.0, we upgraded all registered users to V1+ for free? V1+ is significantly stronger than 1.0, and like I said the install put the path in all 3 spots in the config.sys so associations and startup directory settings in the program object work. Regards, Joel @ SPG
