I once used a two-floppy SE on the Tomorrow's World LAN, all of which was run from an Mac II server which nowadays wouldn't be thought adequate for word processing. I can't remember the underlying system software (Jack Weber knows because he used to maintain it as well as producing a large part of the programme output). We used MacWrite. The whole programme was produced on it every week. It was *so* slow, yet so wonderful that in the end I dumped the PC and got a Mac... Gosh... The memories. Nowadays of course TW is linked into the Beeb's main system and the front end in Windows 95. To be honest, it's quite good. But not that good... The thought of having more than one blessed system folder on a HD is pretty confusing I guess. I suppose one reason would be to have several possible TCP (all right, OT) setups available. I know this isn't the place but what the hell, the same people read both groups; what's the way to have alternative TCP/IP setups? Can it be done with OT without rebooting? I seem to remember that this was a feature nowadays- is it? I've set the follow-up to demon.ip.support.mac. -- Peter
