In fact, I'm not using any of the beta copies sent to me. The enhancements involved were basically for the ability of formatting and testing the "2nd disk" [easier than it is now]. Also the ambiguity of the "DR" command in the interactive device test (31) from the expert menu was fixed. (DR could be "drive" or "data register") The main problems I saw with these fixes was the person at AT&T couldn't test it. I tested the format of drive 2 once, and it selected drive 1. That was the first and last time I tested it. Other than that, it was nothing "new and exciting" AT&T was holding back. -Lenny -- | Lenny Tropiano ICUS Software Systems lenny@icus.islp.ny.us | | {ames,pacbell,decuac,hombre,sbcs,attctc}!icus!lenny attmail!icus!lenny | +------- ICUS Software Systems -- PO Box 1; Islip Terrace, NY 11752 -------+
