Nick,

I think you are not telling us something. :)

I have tested VED with MESS and VCC, both will load the program from the 
original disk and run it. If you are getting a 214 error, when trying to start 
VED, then you may have changed the attributes for that file.
What method did you use to move the program and files to your boot disk, if 
that's what you did? There is a script on the disk that is supposed to install 
VED on a disk in drive0 when the master disk is in drive1. However, there is a 
problem which the script. The path names are wrong!

The script assumes the directories CMDS, SCR, MACROS, and DOCS are in the root 
directory. They are not! They are in directory VED_2.9 .
If you want to use the script, you will need to edit it. Alternatively, you 
could use dsave to move each directory to your boot disk.
Depending on what directory you are in when trying to use the script, you may 
get a 214 error. The attributes of a script not in the current directory must be 
set for execution or it will not run.
attr copyfiles e pe
The above would be prevent any 214 errors when using the script after correcting 
the path names.
