In the past six or so months I believe I've seen the word on Win95 and rawrite go from `I think Win95 interferes with rawrite. I think you have to boot to DOS-mode', to `I know Win95 interferes with rawrite. You should boot to DOS-mode', to `You should find an old copy of DOS and not use Win95', to `You must find an old copy of DOS to use, Win95 will not work, not even in DOS-mode'. Somewhere there, it directly contradicts my own experience. I know rawrite will work from DOS-mode. Anyways, just now, I figured it would be worth testing it without even running DOS-mode... I grabbed rawrite from 2.1.5, and the 2.1.5 floppy image. Surprise surprise. It worked wonderfully. FWIW, I have what I consider to be a pretty unadulterated (no pun intended...really! ;) Win95 setup. Urk, eh? -- -- tIM...HOEk The opinions expressed above are mine, and if my employer shares them, that's his hard luck.
