First tip, create a PIF file for the application. It has a choice in there that asks you if the app should run full size or as a Window. If you try to run it as a window and it complains, well, there's nothing else you can do. The way the program chose to display output just can't handle being a Window in some cases. -- "Organized fandom is composed of a bunch of nitpickers with a thing for trivial pursuit." -Harlan Ellison Patrick Deupree -> patrickd@chinet.chi.il.us
