- What you probably need is the slightly updated version of the program
- called shipacc.prg. This can be run either as a normal program or as a
- desk accessory - just change the extension to .PRG or .ACC as required.
- (I have mine tied to a Neodesk keyboard macro so at the end of a session
- I just press CTRL/Left-shift/P to park my disk, and I have a note on my
- NeoDesktop to remind me of the keystroke combination, but that's by the
- way.)
-
- I'd be surprised if you couldn't find it at atari.archive, but until we
- get a proper connection to the UK academic TCP/IP service it's just a
- bit too complicated for me to check this out quickly for you. Maybe
- someone else could oblige?
