Thank you all for your response to my question about a program that reads IBM disks in an amiga drive. For the one person who criticized where I posted my "STUPID" question: Since my topic related to an APPLICATION program that would do what I wanted to APPLY it towards, that is why I posted it to COMP.SYS.AMIGA.APPLICATIONS as well as COMP.SYS.AMIGA.MISC . Sorry if I offended anyone by posting to a group that was inappropriate. I was just trying to aim towards a group that might know the answer. But since only 1 person commented about that, I guess he's the only one who really minded. I've not seen it in the FAQ list that I last read or didn't remember if it was in there... SORRY! But again, Thanks to all the EMAILers and POSTers who answered my question. FYI: CROSSDOS was the overwhelming winner by far. Cheap too!

But >since only 1 person commented about that, I guess he's the only one who >really minded. You neither offended anybody nor made me mind. It's just that most people don't seem to understand how to use the comp.sys.amiga.introduction group, or simply don't read what is in there (there really is some good stuff). Since this question was something that fit the charter of comp.sys.amiga.introduction, I just thought I would take the opportunity to educate a few people about the purpose of one of the various Amiga groups. I do that once in awhile. I like the groups better when the messages are organized in a predictable manner. I wasn't trying to get on your case about it. Notice that I did answer your question. No need to get defensive. Whatever you do, don't be afraid of Usenet. >I've not seen it in the FAQ list that I last read or didn't >remember if it was in there... SORRY! It is in there. After I responded to your post. Ferry (the monitor of .introduction) sent me a message growling about how he slaves away at being a monitor, and spent years of toil and his whole fortune making a FAQ file and how nobody ever reads it and nobody appreciates him and he might as well just drink poison for all anybody cares about him. Well, maybe he wasn't that dramatic, but he did complain. Dan Zerkle zerkle@iris.eecs.ucdavis.edu (916) 754-0240 Amiga... Because life is too short for boring computers.

SORRY! Never mind, if everything is all-right the monthly postings should stay around all month without being expired. So if you need it for some reason, you should be able to find it back with your favourite newsreader. >It is in there. After I responded to your post.

Did I say that? >Well, maybe he wasn't that dramatic, but he did complain. Well, I was a bit frustrated don't never even take me too serious. Ask xanthian about it, he always has a very typical/strong opinion about me distillated out of very little information...
