        Ah, depending upon the version of SCDMAX you received, the .CTL files 
are Max3 and *not* Max2.  Granted, you do have to put the file division 
starting and ending lines in the .CTL file(s), but that should be all.   The 
latest released version is SCDMAX05.ZIP, dated March 30, 1996.  If the 
version you have has the "TYPE" field, then it's Max3 format.   SCDMAX05 also 
allows you to enter the file area descriptions while processing the CD-ROM.  
Thus, you don't have to go back and edit the .CTL file except for the file 
division thingie.  8-)
        If you have any problems, please let me know.  I'm dying to do/add 
something to SCDMAX, but no one has suggested anything.  I did increase the 
size of the "TYPE" field a little and allowed for commas in the file area 
description in my version, but that's hardly worth releasing.  8-) 
        Good luck and take care!
                                        Victor
