  Hi Stefan, My Name is Olaf, and I' am an NY Programmer
 from Germany !
I ' m working hard at the moment to Develop an "Downloadsystem" that Loads up
via Parallelport and Xploder the Gfx and Sound resources for an Yaroze Projekt.
It's an Windows Tool (95) in which you can Drop in in TIM's and TMD's.
The Tool generates :
     1. An Siocons Batch
     2. An C- Header File which contains the Memory adresses
    3. It will provide an Download function to Load up the GFX to PSX -Memory
       via the paralleportt and Xploder Modul
I'm trying out if it's possible to load up the PXE - File also; but to start the
Application
the "go" Command via Siocons will be still necessary.
Ok ! please be a little patience (some weeks), and after this Time I will Upload
the Tool
on my Yaroze Page !!

with regards
 Olaf
