I'd like to use PC Ditto via the ST DSDD disks...all I really want to do with
it is to run some PD engineering and scientific programs that can't be easily
converted to the ST (because the bozo authors don't supply source code).  I
called the local pc peddlers and they said they've got dos 3.2 for IBM and for
Compaq on 5 1/4" only because 'all the 3.5" machines come with it, why should
we stock it?'
Would there be any problem with getting one of these large-format versions
and copying it to a 3.5" disk?  The guy at the pc place thought a generic
dos (rather than IBM or Compaq name brand) on 3.5" would be better but he
wasn't thrilled about ordering one.
Where are PC Ditto users getting dos (aside from the pc at work, I mean)?
So far I've found only one ad for dos 3.2 in the magazines.
Thanks,
Don
