If so how ?? If not (which is what I expect) - is it likely to be included in a future release ?? Is anybody working on it ?? If they are do you need a hand ?? I will have a look at this if noone else is doing it as I may find it useful. Since BSD runs on Intel boxes (which usually run DOS) it would seem sensible to let you transfer data between the two systems. As an after thought, I know that VPIX runs DOS apps but does it use the DOS partitions or are the programs stored on the BSD partitions ?? Any information on these subjects would be useful ....
