Hi! All ya little flamers out in c.s.a.s land how is it going?
I wish to apologize to any one who sent me mail(like, right, we really
sent you mail, like get REAL),  my mail file was erased before I got
back for Christmas  and I don't know if I got any repys or letters on my
old posts.
Well its time to cause trouble for you all(i.e. read the subject line)
so let's get it over with quickly so you won't be in too much pain.

1.) I downloaded Manix from the archive at umich a tried to list it
    with lzh(I think), now when I did this lzh loaded and then started
    to access the disk.  After waiting half an hour, I reset the
    computer and checked the disk info -- there was no space on it
    left at all, now get me straight this disk only had lzh and
    Manix on it and was 800K when I formated it.  I decided to
    delete this copy(I had another) of the file and
    glorybetellitonthemountainyesyesyesyes all the missing disk space
    appeared.  I tried this twice more, each on a different disk, same
    situation.  What happened? (If it matters I only had 1/2 meg
    on the ST I was using(figured if it was any bigger I'd use
    my dad's 1 meg ST with a single sided disk drive.)

2.)I also downloaded a few arc files such as Gaunt_ed,  now on a few of
   these files I got an error message of damaged or encrypted info,  being
   being optomistic I prefer to try finding out what type of encryption
   might be used that way and how to test the file for that,(i.e. I want to
   find out if i need to decoded the file first and how to do so)? Any
   suggestions?

3.)Any one know a way to back-up floppies, and/or how to copy all the files
   onone disk to a larger disk without switching disks 1000000+ times. I've
   been using a ramdisk, but the larger the disk the slower the file is read.
   (esp when using the max disk you can use before the computer bombs(got some
   mighty big files there people!)?
4.)I've been wanting to catalog all my disks,  and do to the fact that many
   of my disks are single-sided and many are double-sided, I have a problem,
   I need to use FMC.prg to get my drive to work correctly(Forced Media Change)
   but the ST does nt ever realize when I use a single sided disk and change
   to a double sided disk.  So, when cataloging I can't catalog both my single
   sides and my double sides at the same time.  Any clues on how to get around
   this?
