The HPFS is only used on hard disks, floppy disks are still written
using a FAT and remain compatible to DOS/TOS.

When you press <ESC> to update a directory window, the desktop forces the
operating system to think that the disk has changed (just as though you
had removed it and put in a new disk). This even happens for disks that
really have not changed (like hard disks).

Since MiNT has been told by the desktop that there is a new disk in the
drive, it closes all files that were open on the 'old' disk, and prints
a warning message to tell you this if there were any.

I have GCR 3.0 running on a TT, so I don't know if this applies to you,
but...
I found that I can only access Mac disks if I boot up with a disk in the
flopply drive (a light-off program doesn't help) and remove it before
running Spectre.  Otherwise it will never take a floppy.

Can one actually purchase it now?  Is it for public sale or for developer's
only? I'm am told by a local dealer that it's still for sale only for developer's
here in the U.S.  The dealer did give me an expected price and it is outrageous.  
I expected it to be expensive but not -that- expensive.  And I hope that 
it will be available in color as I do not wish to pay more for a monochrome 
monitor.

What do you mean by real Zmodem with batch upload mode? FZDT uses XYZ
2.01 by Starfall software, and it indeed has a batch upload (and
download) mode. Freeze Dried even has an auto-start option for the
Zmodem. I don't exactly know what this arcv is, but I think it's some
kind of command-line extenser (that lets you write an over 128 byte
parameter line)? I can't see any reason for using it with FZDT, as it
isn't a .TTP program?

Well, it has bugs, I mean it bombs sometimes (ex. when you load a
program that doesn't release all memory when quitting), but it's
definetly not full of bugs. I can live with it.

 Not true.  Individual tones cannot be detected above 20K, but people  
 can detect sounds above 20K as 'nuances' in music and can tell when  
 these frequencies are absent.  So sampling needs to be 100Khz or higher.

kick the video game habit.  You see, these great games will come out for it

Some weeks ago Eric R. Smith posted a small program `runtos.c' in
comp.sys.atari.st.  It works very fine when used without NVDI.
But when I use "Install Application" as described in the file `runtos.c'
and when I have NVDI installed, I get an error after (!) `runtos.prg'
returned.  Some parts of the desktop are already redrawed, when an alert
box appears, which tells me that VDI was called with the invalid handle
$FFFF.

If I type

        echo /bin/hello.tos >> u:/pipe/TOSRUN
        
while running `tcsh.ttp' and then quit TCSH, the same error occurs.  So I
guess it is an error either in NVDI or in TOSWIN.  Has anybody made
similar experiences?

I am using the german version of NVDI 2.01 (the date is 21.10.1991) and I
cannot find a version number in toswin, but it came with MiNT 0.95.

I've bought a book about bit-mapped graphics wich explains about this format,

MAC, PCX, TIFF, etc.

I've heard that every three months a message is send to NEWS, that explains

I hope there is someone who can help me.

I'd really like to know why you and Dave keep harping on _D/A_
conversion; for direct-to-disk recording I'd be a lot more concerned
about _A/D_ conversion.  Speaking of which, does anybody know
_for_sure_ whether the Falcon has 16-bit A/D on board?  One person
assured me it did, but when he sent me a copy of the specs as given
by Sam Tramiel, the point was actually ambiguous (the specs listed
16-bit _audio_ output, 16-bit _digital_ input).  Note that the
presence of a microphone jack does not imply 16-bit A/D (compare
the NeXT: CODEC mic built-in, but for 16-bit A/D you need to buy
extra hardware.

The e-protocol is faster but never use it. If you are using MNP4 or V.42 you
have error correction between the modems and won't lose data between the
modems. But what is with the cable between your modem and the dte (computer)?
If you didn't use a very good isolated cable you'll lose data between the
modem and the dte.
