By default MTOOLS writes out an ALL-BLANKS volume id, which makes the Gulam shell not be able to read that floppy. I've already posted my simple patch to comp.sys.sun and maybe even this newsgroup. I am sure that other small bugs are lurking in MTOOLS. Ever try to abort in the middle of an MTOOLS operation? Cheers, -- Ralph P.
