Re: Startup.ints

Steve:

The command to load a SGT file is LDSGT, not LOAD. LOAD only works with
customization files that have plain-text file IDs at the top of the file --
;KB;, ;PR;, ;U2;, et al. SGT files are binary files; if you try to insert
";SG;" at the top of file, you'll corrupt the file. (Ditto DICT.SPL -- another
binary file, as Robert pointed out.)

Filenames don't start with a backslash! Do NOT put a backslash in front of a
filename ("\fic.sgt", "\xy4.dlg") unless you intend to specify a file located in
the root directory of the current drive. Thus, the command to load a SGT file
named FIC.SGT would be LDSGT FIC.SGT (if the file is located in the current
directory) or LDSGT C:\XY4\FIC.SGT (if FIC.SGT is in C:\XY4).
