I think there is an equivalent option in the > configuration. First, *don't* use the NoTypes option with LanMan98: set it up properly, so that it doesn't need the bodge. With VA, you need to add an association between O-Pro (I assume) files and a DOS extension in VA's choices. I think there is a HostFS Types tab in the VA options window: you need to associate the OvnPro filetype (b27) with the .dpd extension. For LanMan98, simply associate the type with the extension using *LanMan98Map somewhere in your boot sequence (there should already be a set of mappings there somewhere, anyway). If your system is set up correctly, you don't need to use NoTypes at all. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/
