There is a bug in the PD version od TDPatch13. Try calling Consultron
to see about getting a new one.

You can get Cross-Dos for $23.00 at my local Amiga store, so you
might consider just up and buying it. I have used it for over a year
and have had no problems.

They have recentlt upgraded the product to version 4.0a. It is about
twice as fast as the older 3.xx versions.
