Thanks Clarence.
I think Michael just hates me, because I keep finding fault with his
"pride and joy". However, I know a number of other people who have
simply given up trying Arachne because of similar experiences. :-(
Yes, I *do* understand that Michael would get a *lot* of mail. That's
why I always check and re-check any problems to make sure they
*are* reproducible before reporting them. That's why I didn't report the
last crash I had with V1.62 - it wiped my FAT's and Root directory
and no doubt a "few" more sectors besides! I tried in vain to recover
the drive but in the end I just had to reformat it! I'm sure other people
would have written something abusive in this situation, but that would
not have been very constructive, right?
Anyway, thanks for the encouragement and we'll see how things
progress ...
Joe.
