   I would appreciate if someone can tell me what the latest versions of Aread
and Awrite are. The files that I currently have are:
      aread.exe 10608   1/1/80 6:41a
      awrite.exe10560   1/1/80 6:47a.

   As of yet, I can't get either of these two programs to read/write to a
virtual device (using jlink). For example if I jlink c: d1:pc/ibmdisk, where
d1: is a hard drive on the amiga side and the file pc/ibmdisk contains
several files written on the ibm side (dir c: works great). If I try
awrite c:file.txt vd0:file.txt, a file of the file.txt is created on the Amiga
side but is of zero length. After running awrite if I again dir c: I get a
read fault on drive c, abort, retry, ignore. I have gotten aread/awrite to
work correctly if the IBM files are on the floppy connected directly to the
bridgeboard.

    On the same topic does anyone know if Commodore will ever release a
version that in addition to the above problems also allows for wildcard
file specs? Has Commodore released the information needed for someone outside
of Commodore to write such a program (eg how does one talk to teh amiga side
PCDisk program)?
