I am no longer able to provide the level of support that is called for. And I'm no longer adding new formats nor even making bug fixes. It's heartbreaking, as there is so much more that should be done, and many hundreds of formats that should get added in. For example, last week I found that some of the AT&T word processing formats, that are purportedly almost an MS-DOS format, misuse the attribute byte and many files will be ignored since they are explicitly marked on the disk as being volume labels. [NOTE to vultures: my collection of alien disks is willed to Don Maslin (but I don't plan to die for another decade)] A list of formats (>400) is at: http://www.xenosoft.com/fmts.html It used to sell for $79.95 (+S/H). Upgrades from previous versions (even illegal copies that Vertex distributed) were $20 (+S/H), but free to members of this list. It works as a stand-alone program, NOT as a device driver. While a device driver will provide transparency to users ("it turns the disk drive into a Morrow drive"), the driver model severely limits what types of file systems can be done. It will certainly work with a Compaticard, but does not support alternate addressing of the Compaticard, although that could be handled by a BIOS pathc. -- Fred Cisin cisin(a)xenosoft.com XenoSoft http://www.xenosoft.com PO Box 1236 (510) 558-9366 Berkeley, CA 94701-1236 NOTE: My ISP is having difficulties.
