i'm having a devil of a time getting crossdos to work again. i have an A2000 with KS 2.04 and WB 2.1 and crossdos worked fine before but it is acting quite differently and i'm sure it is a stupid mistake. crossdos used to run completely as a background process and i did not see any type of dialog box. now there is a small box that offers 3 options (text filtering, text translation and translation types) and the selections are shaded out. low density pc disks that had read before just list DF0:???? instead of of PC0:. i'm sure there is a siple oversight here and i would be very appreciative of suggestions. thank you! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Duane M.

That's the commodity which controls the various options, such as converting Amiga text files (with only LF) to IBM text files (wiht LF+CR) and such. If the options are shaded out, that means the PC0 device isn't mounted. > low density pc disks that had read before just list DF0:???? instead of > of PC0:. i'm sure there is a siple oversight here and i would be very > appreciative of suggestions. thank you! Yup, you haven't mounted the device. Are you mounting it manually, or do you want to have it set up every time you boot? If you don't have the PC0 icon in devs/dosdrivers, which I suspect you don't, you have to mount the device manually when you want it. You do this by double-clicking on the icon PC0, which should be located in storage/dosdrivers. I think you might have been double-clicking on the CrossDos icon, in tools/commodities, instead. That doesn't mount the device. If you want PC0 to always be available, move the icon to devs/dosdrivers. Jeremy jeremyn@injersey.com
