I'll supply the code if I can get some testers for it.
Any takers?

Dont I know this....
Close to a year Ive been working on installers.
This is why I came up with EFFM to test out my dir2() routine
(havnet had anyone complain yet)
So far I have Win 95, 98, ME, 2k and NT 4 to test on
(need an XP machine)
btw, EFFM was tested and works well on XP
EFFM is about 6000 lines smaller than my installer.

Come on Rob, wouldnt it be better appeal to have the code showcasing
EUPHORIA's ability?.
