Apparently.  The MoebiuS disk must be labeled "Artematica #2". I couldn't
get anything from CLI, so I loaded workbench and double-clicked the
MoebiuS icon; about 45 secs of disk activity, then a clean exit.

This after nearly two hours of downloading.  Oh, well, I got in several good
games of Tetrix and Tiles 8-)

Rather.  Compliments to Bob for getting out an incredible number of 
binaries (heck, I thought our newsfiles were corrupt when I saw over
60 postings in c.b.amiga 8-), but perhaps he's shaved a few too many
corners ?
