Is there any software (PD, shareware, or real-dollar) that permits
an ST to read and/or write MS-DOS compatible file structure? I believe
that I saw an article about it some time ago in one of the ST mags.
Don't remember where, when because information was somewhat acedemic
then (but is important now, having recently acquired a Toshiba T1000)
Regards,
Rich

Rich,
Your ST can read and write 720K MS-DOS disks, as it stands.
No additional software is needed. The only qualifications that
need be made here, is that the disks need to be formatted on the
MS-DOS machine. If you format the disks on the ST, then the PC
will not be able to read them. There are PD programs that format
MS-DOS readable/writeable disks on the ST.

A program to format IBM compatible disks on the ST can be found
in: MILRAT::DISK$USER3:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]IBMFMT.ARC and
MILRAT::DISK$USER3:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]IBMFMT.C
The .C file contains the documentation and the source, the .ARC
file contains the executible.

| 141.4 | Running MS-DOS on ST is also possible | HLDG02::VELZEN | Wed Jun 29 1988 08:38 | 5 | |
Don't forget PC-DITTO, the MS-DOS emulator program (not free).
It allows you to run MS-DOS programs on your ST (at a speed of 1/3
of an XT).
