>From rafg1@...


BTW,

After I drag the eg. the GoMMC files on my PC - having extracted them
from their zipped state on my PC (which runs Windows XP)
to an appropriate PC directory - to my external PC B: drive, I take the
diskette over to my BBC machine with the DOSFS ROM. I simply rename
any file that has a .extension (filename.ext) by dropping off its extension
under DOSFS and shorten the name if necessary for use under DFS and
swap to:-
*DISC
*DRIVE 1
and repeat the transfer procedure I described elsewhere
and then I soon have a DFS disc ready for any BBC machine of  mine.

Best wishes

Raf
