Bob,

DiscOver will not look inside QXL.WIN files on a MSDOS format disk.

It would probably not be difficult to add that facility as for testing
purposes I developed the capability to specify a disk image for any of the
formats that DiscOVER supports.   It might just be a case of exposing this
capability in the standard version - I will think about how easy it might be
to do.

Dave

My Zip's are 100Mb and the EZ's are 128Mb and they are formatted as FAT16.
I had not thought of trying DiscOVER to read them, I have only used it in
the past to read floppies.
My question is how to read/write inside the QXL.WIN's I have created on
them.

Bob
