You're absolutely right.. I should have said no one in the US has heard
of it..
 
That's one of the really distressing things about the way the Atari market
has become fragmented.  We know, from reading here on UseNet that there
are wonderful things in Europe, but we've hever heard of them here.

There are several choices in the PC market for "disk doubler" types of
programs, but the only one widely available in the US was Data Diet, and
now its future is unclear..

It's very frustrating..  a lot like owing a European or Japanese car
because you like them better than what the American manufacturers offer,
but having to wait two months to get a part shipped from Tokyo.
