(It is on Halvaard's web page, yes?) Right. Creator can be downloaded from the Notator website (URL in my signature among other places), but.... it will only work with a *Creator SL* dongle as far as I know! So he's still in a catch-22 :-( Hmmm... how about someone else (with an Atari ST containing more memory) loads Notator SL, disables notation and sends the program to Vic? I can't remember the details around the notation disabling, but if there is an option to save the current state of Notator, meaning that the next time it's loaded into memory, notation won't be loaded it should be fine. But if notation is always loaded, but can switched off *after* being loaded into memory I guess there's no other solution than expanding the memory of the computer or buying an ST with more memory. Depending on the Atari ST model, memory expansion can be pretty expensive. If that's the case I'd look around for a cheap, used STe since they can easily be expanded to 4 Mbytes using standard SIMM boards. Maximium memory is a good choice in any case, so I'd rather look into this than disabling notation all the time (512 Kbytes is still not that much, even for just sequencing I guess).
