Yes. That comes up in a window without the top bar. On my screen, it is
about 3/4 the width of the screen, and you still have all the usual
Amiga window furniture. For kiosk use, you wouldn't want this.

AACD works quite well but there are some glitches on my usual setup, which
has the CD on a second Amiga accessed via Envoy.

I still get the old error message "wrong number of arguments" when the
"Welcome" starts up, then an error message from AWeb "cannot open file
++>" Then there is an AWeb window without frames, headed AACD
NewsFlash!

Selecting "Home Document" from AWeb's menu gives a request for AACD01.

One thing I don't like about Windows is that CDs have to be "installed".
You don't know what rubbish is being copied to your hard drive during
this process. I don't normally run AACDs for the same reason. All kinds
of changes are being made to the hard drive without any warning. Maybe
they are all safe, maybe not.

Sorry if I seem ungrateful after all the work you put into those
scripts.

The most useful thing recently (for me) was the GG installation, which
didn't need AWeb.
