     Thanks - I had a look around the other day and couldn't find it myself.

     I thought maybe it was that time of the month and that's why you were
too stingey to post the address the first time. ;)

     Yes and no.

     Well, even with 24 bit graphics - it's still kludgey - setting the
configs for the screen, or promoting a mode, or running a bunch of
different viewers to see a pic. And evey program has a different interface
- gadtools, MUI, etc. At least with Windoze, it all looks the same and
basically worksOK, and the application software is very nice and
functional.
     
     Still, I don't find the PC as much fun to use as the Amiga, and am
happy enough to hang around a bit longer to see what develops.

     Couldn't locate it.

     If you happen to be on and can  access it, could you please let me
know where I'm going wrong, although I suspect Bazza has just reduced the
access - else the non-paying "members" can access all the files.
