Very true, but not so much help in a school with over a dozen Beebs 
having old ROMs and insufficient budget to change something that by all 
accounts works as it is (the station 240 thing being answered with "well 
number them lower", to which the students responded with screwdrivers 
and staples to number 'em back higher...).


When I had my A3000 on the net, I started putting together my own server 
called "LevelFive" (sorry, that's *so* lame) but leaving school meant it 
never progressed much beyond login and cataloguing directories. It would 
(a decade later) transpire that several of my planned improvements were 
standard issue MDFS features. :-) I'm *so* depressed mine blew up, the 
difference between MDFS and FileStore is hard to express in words...


Best wishes,

Rick.
