(I got a file off of a BBS a while back that includes something called "autodiskchange" which does a disk change for the FFS disk/filesystem/whatever whenever you put a new floppy in. MSH does something different.) In the back of my mind, I have been wondering if the DOS 2.0 FFS disks will be the exact same format and everything with what I'm doing.... Oh well, I can always convert when the time comes. > -- David M. Pochron | "Life's a blit, > | and then you VBI." > pochron@garfield.cs.wisc.edu |
