    If you're talking about the Apple conference on Fidonet, maybe you 
should try again.  I would tone down your "used car salesman" approach a bit 
though...  the moderator (Dennis) is really jumpy these days because of some 
illegal activity on the net.  Don't think he'd appreciate anything that even 
hints of "virus".  :-/

    If you are doing low-level block read/writes (Copy II Plus does that 
when locking and unlocking large batches of files), I hope you will be 
around when/if the directory structure of ProDOS changes.  Wouldn't be very 
nice if Heatseeker accidentally trashed my ProDOS 8 v3.0 disks a couple 
years down the road...
