	MSH is widely reported to have several bugs, which affect it's
operation under 2.0 and on A3000's (to some degree).  Commonly, under 2.0
it can't write disks.

	I (personally, not commodore) would recommend CrossDos from Consultron
if you need to work under 2.0 or have problems with MSH.  It's a well-supported
commercial product (make sure you have the latest version, 4.??, for full
2.0 compatibility).

		^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	Always include version numbers (2.00 (no one should be running this),
2.01 (no one should be running this), 2.02, 2.03 (mostly WB update), or
developer beta version 36.xxx or 37.xxx - use Version and/or WB About menu
to see the build version).
