David;
Yes, a CrossDOS volume appears to any program running on the Amy. I use a
Software Distillery directory utility (still in beta) all the time.
TurboText, WP and indeed every other program that I have tried will read
and write the MSDOS volume. Just remember that CrossDOS will truncate file
names to the MSDOS standard size. I believe that .info files are also
created with an extension of
inf for those programs that are writing icons. Of course the ICONS are not
useable.
WB 2.x adds the ability to copy files (and other operations) by creating
'dummy' icons or even by selecting and draging the filename. This also
works on CrossDOS mounted volumes.
