From article <12400001@nixbln:, by schroede@nixbln.UUCP:
: This file cannot be unwarped, because it is rotten.
: First it does not uudecode properly (short file) and then it will
: also not "unwarp". In the process of unwarping you get the first block
: 79 bytes, then 5808 ,24,5808 and then a massive 2Meg block! that
: no floppy drive can cope with.

	The one I got here on agora uudecoded correctly, and warp had
no trouble extracting it. the problem is that the warp was created off
of a disk that had some non-Amiga tracks on it. These tracks are inter-
preted by warp as just more blank disk and are compressed to the
equivalent of 'format this track'. That's why you see the 24byte
compression... The emulator progrsam expects the Atari ROM code to
be on the disk in those non standard tracks. When you run the emulator,
it fails because that code is no longer there. The only way to get
a good, working copy would be to diskcoipy the original disk or use a
hacked version of warp that compresses raw tracks and not AmigaDOS tracks.
