Never used QWKRR under VICE, is it one of the programs that has a problem
if it's not running on "real" hardware ?

I managed to get a copy of my all-time favourite database program
(DataManager 128) copied over to D71 format - fortunately it doesn't care
about full disk emulation & really flies! (Especially when VICE is in
turbo mode!).

I have found a few progs that don't like that combination though, but
mainly they're 64 programs that rely on bizarre copy protection routines.
My CBM interest these days is mainly PET & 128 related, so no great
loss.

cheers,

Lance
