Jim,
    What version of DOS are you running?  CALL is an internal function of DOS 
3.3 and higher.  It allows a batch file to call another and then have control
returned to the origonal batch file when the called file is done.

    By the way, can anybody tell me the seek time on the DAK drive.  CompuAdd
said theirs is 350ms.  Also, how do you hook the drive to your stereo, can the
internal drive be mounted vertically, and what does the external drive connect
to(a card that comes with it?)?
