Hello, I recently received the COLOR version of the Double-Click Software Formatter, version 2.21. Is it possible for someone to send me the MONO versions of this? What other software is available from these guys? I used to have the Double-Click Corner Clock, but alas, it doesn't work with the new roms, so I got rid of it. Any other stuff I should be aware of?

[We wear two caps around this place, since we are UACE and DC] We have a new version of the corner clock coming out real soon that: 1) Works with the new and old ROMs, and 2) Actually keeps correct time (sorry, our old one was subject to bad vblank timing on some computers). New software: DC Transfer - a background file transfer facility (works with just about everything we tested) DC IO - a psudeo 11 sector disk formatter (actually 5 1k sectors and 1 512 byte sector) that works as FAST as 9 or 10 sector FAST formats. + version 2.3 of DC Formatter. Look for these soon. and [maybe one of these days] ZENITH Term and ZENITH BBS. - Mike Vederman -- #-----------------------------------------------------# University (of Houston) # It is morally wrong to let a sucker keep his money. # Atari Computer #-----------------------------------------------------# Enthusiasts (UACE) Use Atarinet: for help, interactively send a message to UH-INFO@UHUPVM1

I have a fairly recent version of the DC Formatter and overall it's a nice job. I *really appreciate* the ability to lay down an MS-DOS boot sector! It makes the ST much less irritating when I'm trying to move files around for various people. The only thing that I find annoying about the program is that they still muck up the screen and leave their blue desktop on exit. If they could just retain my colors so that my colors are restored on exit I'd be much happier. No, I don't use the putrid Atari green desktop. I have my colors completely re- arranged (white letters on royal blue background with dark grey desktop).
