I got MSH from an FTP site the other day, and followed all of the
discussion here about it.  Thankfully, on the first try, it worked
like a charm.  (Thanks c.s.a. posters!)  There is a problem with MSH,
however, that I'm curious about.

I formatted a brand new disk using MessyFmt accepting all the
defaults, etc.  I copied files to and from it, and it was fine.  When
I tried to use the files on a PS/2 Model 50, it worked fine... until I
tried to delete some files.  Then MS-DOS gave me a "Bad FAT" error.

I formatted a different disk on a different Model 50, and it worked
fine.  I put some files onto it, then went to my Amiga.  When I tried
to read some files off of it, MessyDOS gave me a disk error.

I don't know if these problems are related or not, but has anybody
else encountered something like this?  (I don't have DOS-2-DOS or
CrossDOS to try with them.)

And a related problem deals with ASCII conversion.  An AmigaDOS ASCII
file (each line ended by hitting RETURN) when sent to MS-DOS, the CR's
have all changed to LF's.  Is there a quickie program to get around
this?
