Re: [misterhouse-users] Audrey cf image

[Gary T. <ga...@sw...>]

Thanks Lee,

                    Everything seems to work untill I copy the file using 
Physdiskwrite. It says it is coping the file, I see the bytes counting but 
when I do a dir nothing is there. I suspect a format problem but have used 
the windows format before with no problem. Any ideas?

                                                                             
            Gary
