     I too must give CrossDOS high praise.  Delete MS-DOS (the file
 conversion utility), forget DOS-2-DOS, CrossDOS is much better than
 expected!  Had I the application for heavy PC conversion, I would
 immediately order the read/write version!  (A friend of mine will).
 I renamed the PC devics as A: and B: to make more sence.

     Copy from B: to RAM: of a 160k (or so) file was 35 seconds.
 Exact same file from DF1: to RAM: was 15 seconds.

     Criticisms: every time I CD'd to a PC disk, I got the requester
 telling me that the disk was write protected.  Perhaps to encourage me
 to get the read/write version?  Also, INFO command is extremely slow with
 a PC disk mounted.

     Thank you, Hobbit Hole BBS (I forget the sysop's name.  Sorry.)
 Thank you CrossDOS.

     One more thing, when transfering text files, I noticed that the
 new file has an imbedded ^M at the end of each line when Emacs-ed.
