Tip for MSDOS on FF#159 (not sure if right disk!)
User with only one disk drive may not be able to use the program
as (I think) it changes the disk drive into one that will only read
MSDOS format disks. The trouble with this is that it does not reset
the disk drive for use by AmigaDOS. (AT least NOT on my version).
The way to get round this is if you have WB 1.3, before running
the program type MOUNT RAD: so that it mounts the recoverable ram
disk and then run MSDOS on the FF disk. When MSDOS has done its
work and copied a file to the RAM: drive you must copy the file
to the RAD: drive which after resetting the machine can be copied
to another floppy and the ram disk removed. The RAD: device must
be removed as it stops the Amiga rebooting from a disk drive.
The program is pretty poor as it stands so is it possible to
get it modified so it allows you to go into sub-dirs. as the version
I have does not. I also get problems with only 1k or so of text
files being copied over - ANY solutions?????

Hi Ian,
This utility is painful to say the least it seems randon
as to how long a file you get.
I have not found anyway around it .Have you seen the note about
Programs you like to run It mentions PcC720 don't know if this is
PD or not..
