I downloaded Zack Sessions' Zoom1.ar & Zoom2.ar fractal vef files only to
find that he must have used a HD when creating them. Since I don't have one, I
couldn't use them and stored 'em away. Along comes the 1 meg upgrade with the
possibility of having an enormous ramdisk, enuf to de-arc & run Zoom from RAM.
One hitch- I have them stored on RSDOS disks, expecting to transfer to OS9
when the time came but found DOS2OR9 didn't want to handle the very large
files. (Zoom2.ar takes 56 grans). I was able to modify Dosor9 to transfer
Zoom1.ar but not Zoom2.ar (produces FILE TOO FRAGMENTED error). Any way to
modify Dosor9 or would another transfer utility do the job (which)?
Btw, the 1M upgrade is great! Not only did Zoom1 run well, but I'm using
the bigger rdisk to better advantage unPAKing or deARcing other new downloads;
and finally getting around to better organize & sort stray files on scads of
unrelated floppies by copying them temporarily to the rdisk. -ph-
