Sorry for posting this to net, but I **can't** seem to get through to "Herlien@drivax" by netmail. If you ain't him you can say "no" to more and skip this one. Sir, Sorry to be so long in replying but I was trying various ways of getting through to you by netmail & getting stymied left&right. Much thanks for **your** prompt reply to my original posting. It's nice to know there's people out there that like to help. I was very impressed with your suggested solution to my mucked-up diskette problem. The only thing is, well, uh, <sheepish grin> I don't quite **understand** it. I was a computer science major some couple of years ago, but in the intervening time I've been a telecomm salesperson & don't do any systems work at all. Which means I have no idea how to implement your suggested solution. (In fact, I **did** understand it; that was an exaggeration. But I don't know most of the CP/M tools you mentioned in your suggestion, and several of the ones I knew about I'd never used.) Is there any way I can get in touch with you to ask a few questions about this? It seems that posting via the net would be both slow and rude to other net.micro.cpm.readers, so if you can trace this back and give me a working address (I can't seem to make it work from my end), or else send a phone no. (mine's 415/823-5723 in the daytime, 522-6877 at home) I'd really much appreciate it. And, once again, thank you for the suggestion. Dan'l Danehy-Oakes
