    MessyDos is a shareware program, so won't be found in dealers.
Try your local ICPUG (Independant Commodore users Group) or, if
you have access to it, CIX.
    The commercial program for this is called Dos2Dos, which I
don't have, so can't comment upon.
    BTW - MessyDos currently does not work with ADOS 2, but as
you are talking about A500 this should not be a problem.  Otherwise
it is a fabulous prog, and a real life saver.
    Regards,
      Harry.
