  M-Peedy problem
 
I finally got around to installing M-Peedy on my home computer, but I can't get the splitter part to work. It says it has created 3 .dat files, but the files are nowhere to be find (even using W95's find files on the whole drive). The .mpd maker (...) (25 years ago, 5-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)

I have been meaning to try this program, but haven't gotten around to it. Does anyone know how to set it up with LDAO?? Any help with that would be appreciated. Thanks Ryan ***...*** REPLY SEPARATOR ***...*** (...) (25 years ago, 6-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: M-Peedy problem
 
There are very good instructions on the M-Peedy download site. In fact, this could be a model for other utilities. -John Van Dennett <dennett@agate.net> wrote in message news:199909061233470...ate.net... (...) (25 years ago, 7-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: M-Peedy problem
 
(...) The directions you wrote will work just fine. There's one minor correction; just a simplification: for splitmpd, there's no need to use the "Run via .BAT File" option.[1] Steve 1) Run via .BAT just tells LDAO to write a temporary file, put the (...) (25 years ago, 8-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)

Steve: (...) OK. (...) Wouldn't it then be easier just to enter <path>\splitmpd.exe < %model% as the command line and check the Run via .BAT option? Play well, Jacob ---...--- -- E-mail: sparre@cats.nbi.dk -- -- Web...: <URL:(URL) -- ---...--- (25 years ago, 8-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Argh. Yes. Excuse me, my brain must have been sucked out of my car window. It's not like the reason the RVBF option *exists* is to handle utilities which need to be launched with piping. Nope, nothing like that. Steve (25 years ago, 8-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)
