You are technically correct. "Muffin" can copy files from a 13-sector
DOS disk to a 16-sector disk but leaves the original unchanged, so
it cannot be said to "convert diskettes". I don't think that such a
minor correction warrants the use of five exclamation marks, though.
Thanks for the source code to your Double-DOS program.
