In response to Jim's previous mail message(s), I think you should be using one of the following logical names instead of GAWD$SYSDEVICE:[bla_bla]: $ @IM_OLDTOOLS:[COM]CDEFS !to use the previous version of ! the InterMetrics tools $ @IM_TOOLS:[COM]CDEFS !to use the current version $ @IM_NEWTOOLS:[COM]CDEFS !to use the newest version What will happen is IM_NEWTOOLS will always be set to point to the newest release of the Intermetrics tools. After sufficient testing of the tools, IM_TOOLS will be set to point to that version and IM_OLDTOOLS will be set to point to the previous version. You will be notified of any or all of these changes, and they are unlikely to occur more often than the lifetime of a game project. As an example, the current assignments are: IM_OLDTOOLS points to version 3.1 IM_TOOLS points to version 3.1 IM_NEWTOOLS points to version 5.0 If version 5 is accepted, the names will be changed to: IM_OLDTOOLS will point to version 3.1 IM_TOOLS will point to version 5.0 IM_NEWTOOLS will point to version 5.0 I recommend you NOT use physical device names (such as gawd$sysdevice) since they are subject to change. ds
