That is why I said name the disc /psa. My New Print Shop disc was actually 
named /nps. I looked at some of the files with a block editor, and discovered 
that it was hard coded into the program to look for a volume name /nps. I 
expect that the version on 5.25" disc has the volume name /psa hard coded into 
it.

As far as getting the graphics, fonts and borders on 3.5" discs, that should be 
fairly straightforward. The only thing hard coded into the program is that the 
volume name of the data disc must have "psl." as the first 4 characters, and 
the files nust all be in their respective proper subdirectories.
