And thank you :) yes i was just quoting the original message i had sent a long time ago, i was up far too late and neglected to delete that irrlevant section, sorry Dan! i know you fixed the CDs long ago ;-) > I've thought about putting up MacBinary versions of the disk images; it > probably won't happen for 2.2r1 and will happen on the next major > release. its just annoying since you really have to post two versions since macbinary files are a pain when the user is trying to make the floppy on a DOS or *nix box. (yes i am aware of various macbinary tools on these platforms, they are rarely standard items of the base system which means one would have to go find, download, compile, install said util just to make a bloody floppy) <rant> if disc copy was not so broken it would not care what the fscking type was and would just write the raw file to the floppy without bitching </rant> -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
