Bug#141490: [ljlbox@inwind.it: Re: "Testing" base floppies 4.4.2002 don't work]
Howdy,
The reporter determined that rawrite uses the base14-1.bin image
when asked to write base14-10.bin (due to filename truncation).
rawrite should warn before performing such truncation. If that
won't happen, we should shorten the image names. If that won't
happen, we should document the problem in the manual.

Ok, it's quite hard for me to write this without unplugging the power for the shame while I'm sending the mail.
The floppies used to be called "base-#.bin", while they are now "base14-#.bin". That means that when # becomes ##, it is 9 characters. How many characters can
rawrite handle...? (and it doesn't give any errors, just truncates the name)
Sorry, bash me. But since there was a (real) problem with the previous disk images, I immediately assumed there was a problem with the new ones as well when I
saw they didn't work.
Sorry for wasting your time,
