This file was posted on a local bbs. It comes at a time when I've been
having nightmares trying to get a fix for a non-Atari drive that won't
detect a change of disks unless they're write protected. Along comes this
gem (no pun) which apparently forces the ST to read the disk directory at
every access.
I haven't extensively tested this program but it seems to work fine. If I'm
not mistaken, it will be a welcome addition to many an AUTO folder!
