5064.0. "CROSSDOS PD ?" by COLTRG::HENGSTMANN (Life can be hazardous to your health.) Mon Sep 23 1991 08:03

    Hi,
    
    perhaps this has been asked before ...
    
    Is there a PD Version of CROSSDOS that can write DOS disk ?
    
    thanks

    I'm sure it's been discussed at length.

    CrossDOS is a commercial product.  A read-only version is available on
    Fred Fish disk 382 as "tryware" (they hope you'll get hooked and then
    rush out to buy the product).  It lists for $40, but widely discounted
    (and bundled with a number of Amiga systems).
    
    The same FF disk includes V1.30 of "Msh", a read/write file system
    handler for MS-DOS diskettes.  I think you'll owe a contribution to the
    author if you use it (as is the norm for shareware).

    Thanks Bill,
    
    my thoughts were that CROSSDOS might have gone PD anyway because
    of the many copies they must have sold by now.
    
    Think i'll try to get my contribution trough to the author of MSH
    
    On the other hand CROSSDOS is DM 90.- so it still would be worth
    the money.Thinking of what is possible if you have DECNET and
    a conference like this ... 
    
    Thanks again
    Klaus
    
    P.S
    Also i would honestly like to say thanks to the people
    who maintain EOT (and/or other nodes) and keep the world a bit
    more friendly.
    I promise one fine day i'll upload too !

    Hi,
    
    
    you can get CROSSDOS for less than 50 DM here in Germany
    (that's what I paid last November in Cologne) and it's
    worth the price.
    
    I also tried MSH, but it's a bit buggy (e.g. didn't work with
    Amiga-OS 2.0x when I tried it, etc.).
    
    
    Cheers, Heiko
