Subject: DOS+ Econet software

I wish, just found a couple of documents online that refer to it.

Didn't have any luck getting "dosboot" to work over econet. I don't get how
this is supposed to work, I mean the commands to load a file using ADFS are
the same as the NFS ones, unless your accessing sectors directly.
