I own an atari 800xl with 1050 disks and have been using atariwriter
with DOS 2.5.  In dual density mode, new directory entries appear surrounded
by angle brackets once the disk (apparently) becomes more than a certain
percentage full.  When this happens, atariwriter cannot find the files it
needs when using the chain command.  I have no information on DOS 2.5.  Could
someone explain what is going on, and how I can get around it.

Thanks,
