Hmmm, I probably will go to that show, depends if me Dad can get me there, since
umm, well I live in Devon!! :))

Yes, the flash update was the older of the two flashes from DCE's site (as I
explained I'm a bit worried of reflashing with the latest and mucking up again!
;), when I have the guts to update again, I'll do it. The 68K libs are the
latest anyway though.

Nope, 3.0 will just about do. Though you have to botch Setpatch with:

Run >NIL: C:SetPatch

Instead of:

C:SetPatch QUIET

Otherwise out matey the Guru comes out to play ;)

Yes, that and AmiGenerator (MegaDrive), some gameboy thingy, but I just want
to try WarpUp so I can see what I feel is best, though I'm quite happy with
PowerUp.

Well, I shall follow as per the instructions on DCE's site and I shall stick
the 68060 libs in the LIBS: dir.

All the best,

Nick.
