You are right about the drive. It was being done on my 5400rpm EIDE drive. I'm still using CSTal-2 occasionally and it came out before the compressed files were available. I'm wondering if the rpm is that important? My new 18 Gig HD is 7200 rpm and it gives the average access time as 9ms whereas the 5400 rpm HD gives the average access time as 9.7ms. Is it because the 5400 rpm drive is smaller that the avg. access time comes out about the same? Jim Walker >>Jim Walker
