I have not used the Desktop Manager in the past because I heard (from a
source I considered reliable) that it would quickly crash & burn on
disks 80 MB or larger, taking the disk with it. However, I have since
heard from several people that it works fine. Therefore, I would like to
hear from anyone who has either
1) Used the DTM successfully with large disks, or
2) Had serious problems with the DTM.

I do NOT want to hear about not being able to dismount (put in the trash)
floppies or other removable media, since I already know about that problem.

I would like to know if there are any problems running the DTM on a hard
disk and use the usual desktop file on the floppies.

I am leaving for a week on Monday, so I won't be responding to mail or news
until Election Day.
