I've been working in version 0.0 since day one and finally took

the big jump to 0.1.  Everything has gone well with the installation

except when I try to load the bin01.xx from dos floppys with 'mread'.

When I do  mread a:*.*  I get  a message like:



        Probably not a MSDOS floppy

        cannot initialize



and then back to the # prompt.



I know this has probably been all hashed over here but being as I'm

kinda late I sure would appreciate a tip.



                Thanx all
