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. /* F.
