I haven't used them in a while so I can't quote the command for you. If you're sure it's a dos formatted floppy, make sure it's not write-protected. One other trick is to delete the FINDER.DAT file which the Mac uses to cache file mappings from DOS dot-3 (.txt, .doc, .htm, etc) filetypes to Macintosh style type and creator codes (TEXT/R*ch, WDBN/MSWD, TEXT/MOSS, ...). --clark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
