Hi Jason,

 On NT the path delimiter is a semi-colon, not a colon. So you can call
pfFilePath as follows:

        pfFilePath("C:\data;D:\data");

 or ... use pfFilePathv() as follows:

        pfFilePathv("D:\data",
                    "C:\data",
                    NULL);

 et voila! you're all done. See the man page for pfFilePath() for more
info.

 You may want to run your application and set the PFNYLEVEL to 7 to see
where Performer is looking for the data files if this still doesn't work
for you. (in your cmd shell type: set PFNFYLEVEL=7)

 Hope this helps.

A+,

Alex.
