Looks like your mapping is the source of these reversals. >How can I change that to correct it? [...snip...] Ignore all that previous garbage I wrote. :-( After some more work I've now solved most of the problems by using shortened command lines in the BAT files ( I renamed asc-tool.exe to f.exe ) but the command line in TB.BAT is still too long and so it will not write the output to a file...only to the screen. The '_' character in TB.BAT is converting as ' ~ ' tilde but I guess that's correct because _ does not have an upside-down equivalent does it? Also CW90.BAT and CCW90.BAT are translating into letters not symbols. Just little temporary bugs I'm sure. :-) Here's what I'm getting now: ----------------------------------------------------------- Original: |\_/| _____/ - - \ /~____ \ ="= / -cfbd- (______)___w)w) LR.BAT: |\_/| / - - \_____ -bdfc- \ ="= / ____~\ (w(w___(______) TB.BAT ( obtained by a screen dump, won't write to a file ) (~~~~~~)~~~m)m) \_~~~~ / ="= \ -ctPd- ~~~~~\ - - / |/~\| CW90.BAT: _ l_ l) lll lll lll lll - l l\_ l n l=-\ \" l -=-_ \ n -_\ - = \ > v - CCW90.BAT: o lh lc lll lll lll lll p l lih l a l)-i \" l p)-h \ a phi - | \ < ^ - ----------------------------------------------------------- Bye,
