As I recall 22 characters worked and 23 didn't. I had specified a complete path to the file. When I used hd= and set the path in that variable and only the filename in the bf= parameter things started to work. I spent a day chasing that one! I had added one letter to the boot file's name and things suddenly didn't work but I thought it was something else I had done. -- Art Hurst email ae799@lafn.org pier to pier protocols only work between docking stations ;-)
