One of the people on this board (Chuck Purcell) has already cleaned up
the Mark Williams Version (right Chuck?) If there is enough interest,
I am sure I can get him to post it.

No need. I think Chuck already fixed all that up. There were some
things that needed changing if I remember correctly.

P.S. No, I am not going to use curses on the next HDSCAN version for
the ST...just because the Unix version (posted last month to
comp.sources.misc) had it doesn't mean I am sold on using it. I still
feel it is more trouble than it is worth to cripple a program on
a graphics computer by using curses. Oh yes, HDSCAN 1.4/2.4 is
completed and undergoing some last minute touchups. I will be posting
the 1.4 version to the net if I get sufficient interest. I was going
to wait for the 3.0 version of MWC, but now it looks like that will be
for future versions. I am also getting ready to release an
intermediate version of DISKTOP that supports more disks/files. I know
it has been a long time, but I have been thinking of converting the
whole DISKTOP program over to MWC so I can use HDSCAN's FAT scanning
routines (I have LOTS of floppies and really want to minimize the time
I spend catalogging them.) This HDSCAN-like version of DISKTOP will be
next on the agenda...
