Ok here are a few questions related to the advent of 2.0
 
1.  FFS off floppies will be great but the majority of disks will continue
    to be OFS.  So with the re writting of DOS was the brain damage taken
    out.  Ie does AmigaDOS when reading an OFS directory just blindly go
    through the hash table taking no notice of the location of the blocks
    so that it grinds back and forth wasting large amounts of time?
 
2.  The RKM's are much improved(V1.3 ones) but with so much extra information
    that will be required for using 2.0 to the limit,  will their be a full
    new version or will their be update docs all over my room?
 
3.  Could you describe the current developer support methods with regards
    to Australian programmers(yes there are quite a few).
