Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6597 (RAMPAC DIAGNOSTIC)
Hi Ron: Yes it's really me, I'm out of retirement! I know that we've never talked before but let me jump in here... I bought a RAMPAC from Tracy years ago just to find out how it preformed as a storage media. I found that it was good for interim storage but that disk was more permanent... however with the advent of James Yi's NPL.CO for the 100/102 and 200 that it was great for cleaning up, reorganizing, copying and defraging disks. NPL.CO is in our library and it's a super program with DOS like features such as *, ?, quarry for file, delete file after copying, ignore file if it contains, execute command in reverse direction of current setting, bank 0 and 1 selection for the TDD2 and much, much more! James Yi also wrote a program to replace the file manager that comes with the RAMPAC but it wasn't available in the public domain at the time... have you seen it, is it on CompuServe? -=Robert=-
