That's what it did, built .tmp files for each cross linked file. It
put ZA files in my Favorites, my Favorites in ZA files and put .DLL
files in all my Favorite slots.

I am waiting for my son that is in the computer ass'y business to send
me updated software so I can format and reload the whole system. As
of now, it doesn't even know what software is loaded because the
registry is also trashed. I have put a stop on the charge card for
the ZA Pro upgrade crap.

Thanks for the advice on the other 2. I was really using ZA to stop
some drop down windows in some low priced monthly service I'm using.
