This came along the newsgroup comp.sys.atari.8bit a little
while ago. Judging by how long it took to get it posted
after I found out it existed (~6 months), it *really*
needs a home somewhere so people who missed it don't have
to beg.

Good Luck,

Here, at long last, is the program you've all been waiting for!  This is
the one that will run on the IBM PC and will let you read and write
Atari disks on the PC!  Note that the particular Atari disks in question
must be TRUE DOUBLE DENSITY, for example as provided by the US Doubler
upgrade to the Atari 1050 drive; MYDOS format is supported for subdirec-
tories etc...

This upload is different from the others I've sent out today, in that it
is meant to be used on the PC, NOT on the Atari!  Save this message on
your Usenet host system, then either download to a PC and UUdecode there,
OR UUdecode first and then download the resulting binary to your PC.

In either case, you will wind up with the PC program "UTIL.EXE," which
can then be invoked by typing its name at the MS-DOS prompt.  It will
then display a screenful of information telling you how to use it to
do different things.  If you need help, write me, I've used it success-
fully on a number of occasions.

I would like to hear from anyone who downloads this, in order to have
evidence that I either bungled the job, or DIDN'T: namely, were you able
to UUdecode this and get it onto a PC and make it work? :-)

Best of luck, here goes.
