- As has been pointed out to me gently by a few people, disk duplication
- involves a byte-by-byte copy of a disk, and works the same whether it's
- a DOS, NeXT, MAC, or whatever filesystem. Therefore it was probably the
- very reason M Carling suggested which had TELOS put a DOS disk with
- Simson & Mike's book, and not anything to do with DOS disk duplication
- being any easier or cheaper than NeXT disk duplication.

- Sorry for any confusion my holiday addled comment might have caused.
-
- Sigh. Back to thesis hacking...
