On an S3 Trio card, I have no 3Dlabs hardware. I think the flags I'm looking for are pretty universal, it's just how to format them etc. Another point - I can copy the template file to the .com file just fine. I ca't delete the .com file using the same file location, it says it doesn't exist, yet I can edit and copy it fine using the location: SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM Try to delete that and it balks at me. I obviously don't understand the file system in VMS yet either, it's a bit 'alien' compared to UNIX :) The 3Dlabs card is software settable, right? Not a jumper setting that must be changed. Steve Hoffman makes no mention of the PowerStorm 4D10/ELSA GLoria Synergy (it's a 3DLabs Permedia 2 8MB) needing special treatment, I'm sure he'd have noted that in his guide (as he has does the PowerStorm 3D30 and 4D20) http://www.dectrader.com/images/D/298796-001-01.jpg That's the card. No switches or jumpers that I can see. -- Mark Benson My Blog: <http://markbenson.org/blog> Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/mdbenson "Never send a human to do a machine's job..."
