My site suffered a disk crash, and so I missed much of what has gone on with MSH. Was there any resolution to the question of whether the 'Reserved = 0' line should be added to the mountlist description? MSH: mounted both with and without the line, but without the line the disk capacity was shown as 721k; with the line, disk capacity was shown as 720k. Messyfmt (sort of) works for me. It will format disks, but an ancient copy of Dos2Dos (1.6) gives an 'MS-DOS read error' with the messyfmt-ed disk. This happens both with and without the 'reserved' line in the mountlist.

I've been setting Reserved to 2 for the simple reason that all other storage type mountlist entries are set to 2. When I first tried mounting *MS0:* I got a reserved not set type error return and it wouldn't mount. (common knowledge by now :) Works fine for me now. Anyway,, I've got to say its a really nice program.
