Yet another plea for help. Let me just say before I ramble on that most of my previous problems have now been solved. I subscribe to 8BS as well as EUG and I usually bother those members as well with my roubles. Someone in one or the other of these excellent publications generally pops up with the answer. However, in the main they seem to reply
directly to me - so some other members miss out on the info! If anyone can remember what I've asked for up to now and could compile a short list to jog my memory, even if it's just a list of EUGs where my name's been seen, then perhaps I could write some brief articles for the mag. Just a thought.
Right then. Can anyone give me an address for PD software author Jja Van Gink, or the company he works (worked?) for, Der Hansie Developments?
I have a disk formatter program made by them and, in the listing, it says "Please feel free to suggest other formats for inclusion in the program. Send us a formatted disk and we'll write the format into the program." However, no address is given so I don't know where to write to. The program copyright date is (C) 1990.
Alternatively, does anyone know of a formatter application for use in the Desktop of my A3010, which will allow me to format ADFS "S" and "M" formats? I can format "L", sometimes called 640K or 640K(L), with the normal facilities provided with my A3010 and the program mentioned above also does "L". I have one or two ADFS utility disks from Elk, Beeb, etc but it appears to be impossible to format within the BBC emulator.
Perhaps if I send a copy of the PD Desktop Formatter program to someone handy at programming, they could adapt it for me?
