success !

Tried tony's program on a 3rd computer - 5 year old PC running win95.

1. logo editor wouldnt run (missing DLL)
2. ran upload.exe from the dos shell, this was not able to open the hijack file, so ....
3. Renamed the hijack file to that observing the old dos naming structure. Dowload success !

My last question is - is my workaround of renaming the hijack image actually introducing other problems ? I have not tested the empeg yet, but holding down the volume button invokes the 'secret' menu, so everythiing *seems* ok so far ....

Thanks for the input - John
