      easiest way. take a plug that already exists, erase everything inside it, and then put in your data. save. and tada, a plug.

      quite simple. find a plug, copy it, delete all the info on one of them, copy the changes, paste them onto the plug, save, and give it a new name. unless i am mssing something, that should do it.

      Edit: AAAAARRRRGGGGGGG....... "sigh" you beat me AAC.

      there was never a time when i could not get a plug. just in case though, i suppose, i like to keep a blank plug.

      I do know that on Macintosh nova you need to set the type and creator fields in order to make the files usable by nova. You will need an existing nova file, or the ability to type charachters with those wierd dots over them.
      open resedit, (dont need to open your plug) then do get file/folder info.. and open the plug you are making and a known working plug. Copy the fields for type and creator into your plug and save it.
      Or you could enter the type and creator fields manually:
      The type and creator fields want to be Npif and Nova respectively, but the "i" in Npif and the "o" and "a" in nova need to have the pair of dots above them, and i'll be darned if i can figure out how to getthose charachters. I prefer to copy them from a pre-existing plug, myself.

      🙂 Just a tip, but that took way too long to type. Hope it's worth it.

      I don't know if it works on Macs, but Alt-132 is ä, Alt-137 is ë, Alt-139 is ï, Alt-148 is ö, Alt-129 is ü, and Alt-152 is ÿ, except you have to use the number keypad, not the numbers above the letters.

      Are you making it for the EVN TC EV, or regular old EVC?
