$I have a lot of questions for this letter:
$
$1)	Does anyone know where I can get a copy of FixObj or Chop or
$	any of the programs that will fix an executable file to the
$	right file size. I have a disk full of executables that I
$	downloaded and I can't run any of them.
$
FIxObj can be found on Fish 38

$2)	When I run two programs (specifically VT100 and DirMaster) that
$	each open their own screens, once I look at VT100, I can't get
$	back to the DirMaster screen! The VT100 window takes up the full
$	screen and cannot be re-sized, so I cannot reach the Front/Back
$	gadgets. The A-N A-M will only switch me from Workbench to VT100.
$		In general, is there any way to flip through the layers
$	of screens. It seems impossible to me that this hasn't been thought
$	of.
Pull the VT100 window down right after it pops on the screen.  it will move
down far enough to get to the screen pop gadgets.
$
$3)	I just got a new batch of disks and have the following problem:
$	The write protect tab on these disks have an incredibly small
$	design on them, (a small circle/notch on the edge) but apparently
$	it is just big enough and the right position to fool my write protect
$	sensor (a plastic needle) into thinking the tab isn't there. I
$	tried the disks on other Amigas, and mine is the only one with this
$	problem. So with the tab clicked 'up' my disks are correctly write-
$	protected. With the tab clicked 'down' my disks are incorrectly
$	still write protected. With the tab sitting in between both states
$	my disks are write-able.
$		Is there any easy way to fix this? I am pretty sure the
$	problem is the positioning of my write-protect detector. Is there
$	a positioning adjustment??
Try a little Epoxy in the design.  Return the disks and buy ones without
the little design.
$
$4)	My favorite editor is EDT from the VMS operating system. Does
$	anyone know of one for the Amiga? I don't like vi's states (insert/
$	edit) and Emacs has too many control meta whatever characters.
$	Amiga ED is just loopy (no, 'loopy' doesnt mean anything).
I believe someone had a set of EMACS macros that will emulate the EDT
editor.
