weird behaviour from pi-align, or maybe its just a DOS thing !!!as promised, i had another go at pi-align on my beloved old Mac running VPC.
it kept giving messages like "program attempted an illegal command" or something like that, then "general protection error, restart computer" which I did a few times, (well VPC anyway)
just about giving up, I opened one of the pid files in notepad to see if it had the require box info, which it didn't, just the spec info.
I then ran pi-align for a last time, and lo and behold,
IT WORKED !!!!!
gotta love dos, hey !!!
ps: please don't try to explain what happened, i don't think I want to know ;-))
