Now I have Code Warrior, so I don't need it so much, but here it is.. I was thinking of coding a couple of routines that would let you request files off the host PC, or a CD depending on how you call the request routine.. So that way you could code you program and request levels, images etc. off the host PC or off a CD. Although I think there may be a problem trying to load off a CD that isn't a Black CD.. Anyone try this? It would all depend on what copy protection is active on the Yaroze. The routines would let you do the following: getfile = Get a file from PC, or CD senddata = Allow you to send data to the PC This would be a lib you would include in your program. So all you would have to do is call the routines.. It'll do the open and everything... I'll even make it so it'll print a progress bar to the screen.. Is there anything else you think I should add? Naturally I will have to code a Win95/NT front end so the Yaroze has something to talk to. I'll publish the protocols when I'm done so people can code front ends to their own systems. Let me know what you think... Regards, Jeff
