Anyone got details of what does and doesn't work re forms? Nope - it is erratic! Somehow I managed to register with FutureNet using a very early version of Cab - must have been 'cos it was ages ago. Anyway, after failing dismally oodles of times I gave up. A couple of days later I received an email telling me I had successfully registered though the details were different to those I had been trying to send - but I used 'em reguardless! I have since been told that this is not the way things work so I can only put it down to the "Harrison syndrome" - that is, strange and implausible events occur with regular monotony. I also belatedly apoligise to whoever didn't get their registration! :-) Anyway, it seems forms have been fixed - though testing is still in early stages.

I have used bigscrn successfully with NVDI3 and MagiC although it can be finnicky. Is Monster available for ftp? __ Guy Harrison guy@swampdog.demon.co.uk
