     Son of a gun! For sure, the "minor" correction will save frustration-- 
including a few of my own. Most of my diskettes happened to be formatted; 
but, not all. (Well, at least, in the process of 'fixing' the problem, Disk 
Muncher got a good workout in diskette testing and all of my 5.25" drives got a 
thorough cleaning.) Thanks for setting things straight.
