- You must do the above *before* physically removing the disk in question.

- When you're running Browser, in theory cmd-shift-2 and "Check For
- Disk" are synonymous, at least for the last several months. If these
- don't work it might be due to a weird "disk changed" message from your
- BIOS. There will soon be a new demo version of Executor. When it
- comes out, pick it up and install it somewhere other than where you
- normally install Executor (because this new demo can not be unlocked
- with a S/N and key) and see if it handles floppys better. If it still
- has problems let us know. If not then you can expect that fix to show
- up in Executor 2 when it's out.
