- All releases so far, including 1.3 which Joe Kohn has just posted
- to c.b.a2, have not been able to launch "master" disks.
- This has confused many people.
- My suggestion to people not being able to launch disks which are
- known to be standard DOS 3.3, is to copy another DOS image over
- tracks 0, 1, and 2.
- This can be done with Pronto DOS (from Beagle Brothers) for example.
- Once this is done, copy the disk to a file again, and it should launch OK.
-
- The good news is, that version 2.0 of DOS 3.3 Launcher (which is just
- about to go beta) will be able to launch disk images of "master" disks.
