I have been discussion distribution of software with several folks, and Glen is one of these people! The package that you ask about is called DOS.MASTER. It allows one to partition a 3.5" into a DOS 3.3 partition and a ProDos partition. I havent gotten the software, so I dont know how many DOS 3.3 partitions there are, but I believe htat each is a max of 40 track 5.25" number of blocks... Anyways, the REAL crux of the matter is that Glen, F. Zink (author of BLU), Neil Shaprio, Jason Harper, etc. seem to feel that if an author has a copyright on their software, then one should NEVER post it to another network without getting the author's permission first. This is a part of the author's defense of their copyright, and that if an author doesnt do this, they could be in danger of losing their copyright status. Thus, if you DO plan on sending CIS downloaded software to Apple2-L, etc., please be sure to see if the author has provided prior permission to do so within their doc - if not, then contact the author for permission. It is only right that if an author has taken the time and trouble to write software that their rights be protected. P.S. Since I cannot get messages thru to the Bitnet servers, I will be unable to post all the wonderful programs that I get from CIS. Sorry folks, if we just had a comp.binaries.apple I could post things there and someone on Bitnet could forward them along... -- Larry W.
