They said updates were available from BBSs or I could return the master disk and get a new copy of the program. The only trouble I've had with it since then is it occasionally puts up requestors when I insert a disk which warn me that I "must insert the disk again". I'm guessing it has something to do with timing loops breaking on my A2630. Otherwise works fine. -- Jim Wright jwright@quonset.cfht.hawaii.edu Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp.

Updates are available via their BBS. (Sorry, the number is at home. Check their ads. They usually have one in A-Meager World :-) The upgrade patches CrossDOS to V 4.00a. The patches work only if you have V 3.06a or higher. If you don't want to RTFM, here's a hint. You can't mount 4.00a using the AmiDOS or ARP mount command unless you run the TrackDisk patch first. The TDpatch is included with the upgrade. If you're one of the lucky folks with AmigaDOS 2.0, the patches are not required. A new MFormat is also included, and it's MUCH faster. Now you get same day service when formatting a Messy-DOS disk. --Barry Parris (When I grow up, I'm gonna get a REAL .sig!!)

Anonymous ftp would be great. The note I got from them indicated that the patches were available on "your local BBS", so why not my local ftp site too? -- Jim Wright jwright@quonset.cfht.hawaii.edu Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp.
