Subject: Uniform

   Last Friday I called Micro Solutions to ask about the problem of running
Uniform under MS-DOS 5.  What they told me is that the current version,
2.17, fully supports MS-DOS 5.  However, it does not, and probably never
will, run under DR DOS 6.  Updates to the current version can be obtained by
sending an original distribution diskette along with a check for $18 to

        Technical Support Department
        Micro Solutions, Inc.
        132 West Lincoln Highway
        DeKalb, IL  60115

They told me to be sure to include a note indicating what I was asking for
and giving my address and phone number.

   Since I am using DR DOS 6, I decided to experiment with 22DISK instead. 
As far as I can tell, it runs perfectly (can anyone else confirm this).  I
suppose that this is typical of shareware: way ahead of the commercial
houses.  However, 22DISK, like MediaMaster, does not do what Uniform does. 
One can only format diskettes and copy files to and from the foreign-format
diskette.  Uniform turns the foreign-format drive into a virtual DOS drive
on which one can use whatever tools one wishes.
