- Missed the original post just up one attrib, so I'll answer here. The reason is
- that I wanted to use Cataloger (an AREXX script found on Aminet) in order to
- automate the process of making nice indexes. I did try to replace the new loader
- with the older one, but every time it tried to load an image through the AREXX
- script, it would bring up a requester saying something to the effect that 'this
- is an old loader...blah blah' and would thus render this no longer an automated
- process.
-
- I suppose there may be a way to have the script auto-cancel this requester, but
- I'm unfamiliar with AREXX for the most part.
