Hello, Don, and I know what you mean.
I finally was able to get QuikEdit v2.41 to work here. (That's a later 
version of IceEdit).
I posted my batch files in a message to Michael Epler a few days ago. If you 
have that message you might check it out. Otherwise I would be happy to send 
it to you.
I'm running Win95 with Maximus in a DOS box and it works well. That is what 
I'm writing this message with and my brother at The Final Edition has IceEdit 
working on his DOS setup.
Let me know your set up and if you haven't had any success, perhaps we can 
e-mail back and forth.
Be glad to help if I can.
