Hello David, thanks for pointing out how to get this file; for the benefit for those of us that are less well-informed, what are the things that the maintenance diskette can do?
The other thing that I cannot understand, is why this program has to be run from a floppy drive. The latter is getting rare these days and if the program can be run say from a memory stick then it would be much more convenient.
