   OK, I own another utility nammed Setter.PRG (not TTP!).   
   When I used it first, I saw what I thought to be garbage. In fact,   
   I just realized it actually displays the same strings as the TTP   
   version, but with no CR - that is, the CRs are displayed as part   
   of the string, as characters -.   
   Now, when I open BigDos and then double click on the first line,   
   it opens a window with 3 x 4 fields.   
   What I don't understand, as it is to set up drives type, and as   
   the accepted values are stated to be from -32768 to 32767 though   
   there can only be 4 drives types (0 to 3), is how I must fill the   
   fields.   
   Must I name the drive and then assign it a type, typing something   
   like "D=1", "F=3", etc. Or must I assume that the first field is   
   for the first drive and so on ?   
      
   Regards,
