-
- This is the first really public release of the MessyFileSystem, or MSH
- for short. It has circulated among a small audience, and I entered it in a
- programming contest held by the German 'Amiga-Magazin'. They were too dumb
- to let me win or offer me a contract, so here goes their opportunity to
- make some money. Not mine, however, since I am going to try the sh*r*ware
- concept. So, if you like the program, feel free to send me some $$, or even
- $$$ if you feel like it.
-
- What _is_ MSH ? Well, if you ever heard of CrossDos, it is about the
- same thing. Only better, since I wrote it :-) If you never heard of
- CrossDos: MSH is a (set of) programs that enable you to use IBM-PC
- diskettes in your Amiga, just as if they were regular Amiga disks.
- Something you probably thought or were told to be impossible!
-
- There exist other programs that will copy files to and/or from messy
- disks, but they do just that: copy. You are not able to use any other
- program directly with files you have stored on a messy disk. But, with MSH,
- this is finally possible. It seems that several people at about the same
- time decided that it was time to write a program like MSH. Hence there is
- also CrossDos. The fundamental difference between MSH and CrossDos is that
- you immediately get a fully functional version of MSH, and you even get the
- source! (And I am a non-commercial hobbyist).
-
- Of course, if you get the source, you won't get any warranty. The idea
- is that if it works, you send me some $$ (preferably in some stronger
- currency than the dollar, though); if it fails to work, you can fix it
- yourself.
-
- Well, enough talk. Some technical information can be found in the files
- msh.man and dev.man. Fanmail and money will always reach me at the
- following address:

- Ordinary mail can also be addressed to the following address, which is
- guaranteed to change before September 1991:
