For all those in limbo over messydos etc. I finally got it to work using
1.3 work bench, and arp. I still don't know the diff. but I adde a few of
the extended commands and renamed the disk to messydisk. I doubt if the
messydisk name is important, but who knows? I also don't know what happened
to the other messages on this subject. Boo Hiss. Maybe its just me.
However, the disk will still show bad, but can be used as msh: if that is
what you named it. IT WORKED!!! It allowed me to access files from work
that I needed to use. Thanks to all those whow answered the call for help.
What I'm to do about using a 1.2 word processor I don't know, but its a
start. I also can't remember the extended commands I copied, but??? Thanks
again to all who replied. I think it has something to do with 1.3
workbench. Till later. -Gary
