How do I get Executor to read the B: drive? try setting the MacVolumes environment variable to point to your B: drive before running Executor, as: % export MacVolumes="/dev/fd1" Or reverse the device entries for your two drives temporarily: # cd /dev # mv fd1 temp # mv fd0 fd1 # mv temp fd0 I haven't actually verified that these work, since my computers all have only 3.5" floppies. A measure of last resort would be to swap the ribbon-cable attachment points for the drives in your machine (and adjust CMOS Setup accordingly). -- Jordan.
