I have used this for a period and I >like it! Well, everybody who is talking about CrossDos so much, should watch comp.sources.amiga and comp.binaries.amiga this week. I just sent my own Messy FileSystem Handler (MSH) to Tad Gay. It has two significant advantages over CrossDos: it is a read/write version, and you get the source (so if there is a problem with it, you can fix it yourself). So, finally I am going to be famous. :-) Oh well, I already _was_ famous, wasn't I? :-) ovb11@cs.kun.nl (Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert)
