Can anyone tell me what the above mentioned files in incoming/amiga dir at Xanth are all about??? They are over 1 MB each, and I was wondering how feasible it is for WARP to make an 880K disk into an 'archived' format much larger than the original??? Unless WARP uses a compression technique similar to zoo (which on some files makes things up to 60% larger!) I don't understand.... So what are these files??? +--------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | LEON D.

Because the MFM option was used to archive the raw disk data. This is sometimes necessary on disks that have bizarre formatting. If this wasn't necessary, LHWarp would have been used... > So what are these files??? They are WARPs... ...tad
