The argument about using non standard disk formats for the game software itself
is all well and good. OTOH, I can see no possible reason why some software
insists on using its own format for save game files. Its a bit stupid having
umpteen floppies with different 5k or so save files on each one because the
standard TOS routines weren't used for file access.
