  21. There is a program floating around that you don't get for free with 1.3+.
  22. This disabled the requester that pops up when you mistype a device name.
  23. I.e. if you type "copy foo.txt dg0:" and you meant df0: then it prevents
  24. the requester asking you to insert drive dg0:. I think it's called something
  25. like "noreq". It's trivial to code if you know AmigaDOS.
  26.  
  27. Cheers.
