Ok, so the operating system trashes a disk. Now if the operating system crashes on that disk, it's reasonable to complain, but if another program crashes on it, who's to blame? The current CygnusEd has now-known bugs in it's filerequester code. That's why the new release will have a completely re-worked filerequester. Still, you can hardly blame CygnusEd for crashing on media corrupted by things like DiskMaster, or AmigaDOS itself. And as for blaming AmigaDOS for crashing when you insert corrupted media, just try mounting a corrupted drive on a "crash-safe" Unix box sometime. 1/2 :-) - Aaron -- Aaron Avery, ASDG Inc.
