Updates are available via their BBS. (Sorry, the number is at home. Check their ads. They usually have one in A-Meager World :-) The upgrade patches CrossDOS to V 4.00a. The patches work only if you have V 3.06a or higher. If you don't want to RTFM, here's a hint. You can't mount 4.00a using the AmiDOS or ARP mount command unless you run the TrackDisk patch first. The TDpatch is included with the upgrade. If you're one of the lucky folks with AmigaDOS 2.0, the patches are not required. A new MFormat is also included, and it's MUCH faster. Now you get same day service when formatting a Messy-DOS disk. --Barry Parris (When I grow up, I'm gonna get a REAL .sig!!)
