What's done is done, CBM is aware of the problem (Lord knows they've heard it from the net) The volume on this newsgroup is high enough, let's not have repeats on this again.

But... is CBM going to do anything about them? The Amiga DOS has all the hooks for adding new types of file systems (see previous posts re: dir PIPE:), so it *is* possible for them to do something about #1 in a compatible manner. #2 also shouldn't require much work... and of course would be compatible. Both of the competitions' machines support this, too, and I know the current setup has cost sales.
