This will no longer be a disk image. And what prevents you from simply writing to a screw in a specific
directory in your environment?

why not? After all, quite a lot of echo readers (for example) use
emuls. Or, for example, they store a large number of toys and other programs from speckie
on the pussy. Maybe I expressed myself a little incorrectly, in the sense of the new
format, but IMHO the soap is sensible.

Correct, since they are not Dosov, they are written in a specially designated
directory, which can be called “HOBETA” for clarity!

Oh yes.

P.S. And so on, there are no formats, and because of this there is torment, recoding, half an echo
of questions, glitches, heaps of utilities, etc. Maybe we have enough formats???

Hello, Alex!

It’s quiet outside the window, and I’m sitting and writing a response to a letter written from Alex Letaev to
Golovskih Andrey Sun Aug 31 1997 at 18:01...

Yes! At this point you start to get confused about which emulsion to use for what. :) Usually
it ends up being faster to insert onto a floppy disk and into a scorp than into an emulsion from an emulsion with different formats.

With all sorts of regards and wishes.
