This is just an update to my previous posting about the disk
that I'm having trouble reading.
The files that I spent so much time (at 300 baud) downloading
were the 13 files for Modemworks. I figured I'd download it
and see what it was all about before I spent the $30 on the
manual.
If any kind person has the files and would like to send them
to me on the net I would appreciate it (and so would my wallet).

Dawson Of course, after spending three hours on CompuServe at 300bps just trying to download it, you've spent almost $30 anyway -- and nothing to show for it. I just hate to see anyone waste more time and money than is necessary for obtaining my product. The wizards running CompuServe would not allow me to pack a full and complete diskette in one file (making your job of downloading ModemWorks a simple experience), so I had to break it up into billions of files. (It's probably a scam they set up to cause you to spend the maximum amount on time downloading stuff). Because of all this, I have been very reluctant to work with CIS anymore, and so the files that are still on there are VERY OUT OF DATE, and DO NOT SUPPORT the Apple //c, as does the most recent version. This isn't the first time this story has been told. Save yourself a lot of grief and undue trouble trying to get files off of CIS; just get the package from the distributor along with the documentation and technical support, and save yourself some money at the same time. --Morgan Davis Living Legends Software UUCP: [ akgua, hplabs!hp-sdd, sdcsvax, nosc ] !crash!pnet01!pro-sol!mdavis ARPA: crash!pnet01!pro-sol!mdavis@nosc
