Re: CiderPress v1.2

["Bill Garber" <willy46pa@comcast.net>]

Sorry for top-posting but I just had to tell Andy that
I downloaded and installed CiderPress 1.2 and it's awesome.
I can convert 140k .dsk images to compressed .sdk's and take
more of them with me to the GS on a single MSDOS disk.
I will be sending the shareware fee. I assume PayPal is a valid
form of payment?
