Hi everyone (again).

Just an update...

A FreeDOS bootable floppy image of OmniDisk has now been added to make 
trying it easier (especially for Windows XP with NTFS hard disks...). Same 
URL (http://www.8bs.com/submit/omnidisk/OmniDisk.htm).

For some crazy reason I changed the 'DFS80' format to use 5.25" drives by 
default (if it ain't broke...). If you used auto-sensing this wouldn't 
matter - if you used 'DFS80' it would (with a warning). I've changed the 
default back because everyone out there appears to be using 3.5" drives - 
please download v3.6 again if you used the 'DFS80' shortcut.

Jason.
