It went straight into DOS. No Problem, says I. I will rerun OS-BS and reload the MBR. I kept getting a divide overflow error. Apparently there is a change in the 6.2 boot block that does not work with my older version of os-bs. I then worked a little DOS magic and got the 6.0 boot block back onto the disk. I reran os-bs and the new boot block worked just fine. Just thought I'd toss that in in case it comes up soon. -- TSgt Dave Burgess NCOIC Applications Programming Branch US Strategic Command, Offutt AFB, NE burgessd@j64.stratcom.af.mil
