I recently FTPed a copy of messydos to use on my 3000. After placing the library and other files in there proper directory and modifying the mountlist I though I was ready. Well I was able to mount MSH but I was hoping that formatting a disk would do more than act as a head cleaner (drive just keeps on spinning). The version I got was 1.5 is it compatable with a 3000 WB2.0? If not is there a newer version that is? Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Coy Lindsey

It can read msdos disks and files ok, but it has problems writing to the disk. I put a bunch of files on an MSDOS floppy at work and took it home. I could read the floppy fine. I copied the files off of it, no problem. But when I tried to erase the files from the floppy (so I would have room to copy some files to it later) it got kinda flakey. Under Shell, I said "delete msh:#?.lzh" It came back and said "cant find Lock.lzh" (lock.lzh was the first file when I did a dir). Under CShell 4.01 i said "rm *", and it goes ahead and says it deleted the files. But it doesn't. when I did a dir after deleting the files, it shows up as empty, but when I rebooted and looked at it, the files were still there. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Sparks |"Help Fight Continental Drift!"| (502)968-DISK 2400 BPS D.I.S.K.

Under Shell, I said "delete msh:#?.lzh" As far as I recall, MSH uses messydos pattern matching. Thus, you need to use "delete msh:*.*" to erase the files. >John Sparks |"Help Fight Continental Drift!"| (502)968-DISK 2400 BPS >D.I.S.K.

It said it deleted the files but it didn't. I think it has something to do with either wb 2.0 or the 3000. I will try it on WB 1.3 next and see what happens. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Sparks |"Help Fight Continental Drift!"| (502)957-4200 2400 BPS D.I.S.K.

Unfortunately, writing to floppies with messydisk.device simply does not work under 2.0. I know why, but I don't know why, if you get what I mean.
