ok... that should be easy enough...
DC> I have got it working using the 'Swapvectors' and the 'Exec'

my first question, since i've never played with IGMs, is are they simply
another EXE??
DC> Swag has been no help at all. Can anyone assist with a unit that
DC> will do what I want.
if the answer to the above is yes, then the name Ralf Brown should recall some
memories for you... then i'll also say that i have a copy of his 1991 SPAWNO
package that i have used (with TP6) in the past with great success...
