     Hi Dave,

    Things which i followed

    > I have system variable by name ALLEGRO_SITE pointing to d:\AllegroSite

    > Inside the folder d:\AllegroSite i have Potrace & ImageMagick folders which in turn are the values for system variable of MAGICK_HOME & POTRACE_PATH

    > I couldn`t locate Makebitmap utilities- I think this might be the culprit, can u give some details abt this.

    > I have loaded the allegro.ilinit file inside the pcbenv folder of HOME directory(which is my localenv cross verified by set command)

    > I have pasted the logoMaker_public.il inside the pcbenv folder  & also gave the load("logoMaker_public.il") inside the allegro.ilinit file

    I tried the commands which you specified but getting E-Command not found for all the commands..

    Am i missing something in running the skill.

     

    Thnx
