Yes, there are never enough 'days in an hour' these days...

Sorry from me also.

I have two copies of VRPC installed, one is for everyday use, the other is
used as a backup and for experimental app testing.

My everyday use one has the absolute path to the Hd set so it won't get
confused and find the wrong one. or V/V

The second install still has the default path set, which is as you've
noted.
mount0 = "HardDisc4 'HardDisc4' bootopt=2,showext"

Here, either works.
