With GEOS it was a good choice. Actually the whole GEOS thing is an impressive achievement and one well thought out in most areas too ;-) It was a good choice because they created a very special type of file, which couldn't be handled by regular DOS commands. In such case choosing USR as DOS filetype was a clear signal: you don't know how to handle them so stay away from trying to fiddle with them ;-) -- SD! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.Received on Thu Jul 5 13:26:50 2012
