Yes I did. As far as I know, only Boisy and I got bit. I forgot to take 
my own advice.  I had good motives to do so as without it we still do 
not have a way to do any sort of an incremental, only "whats changed" 
backup. But it would have been a zero problem had people (including me) 
invoked my advice about the SAS setting in the descriptor.  Or I should 
have waited until I could figure out where to limit the segmnent table 
to 47 entries.  Even on a floppy, it should never have been under $10, 
and preferably $20.  The default of $08 has used up the segment tables 
48 entries at a file size of 98,304 bytes under the worst scenario 
conditions.  That, at some point will be encountered on a 35Trk, SS 
disk. Best scenario would be at 524,288 bytes, disk full before segment 
table on all but 720k floppies.

The repo's value has I believe been raised if Tormod had applied my 
proposed commits.

You brought the name up.

This is suddenly a closed list run by a dictator?  Your way or the 
highway?  I do not believe that this is why Dennis supplies this list.

Probably not Steven, but you've either ignored me, or even said I was 
wrong for quite a while on this list.  I am interested in the betterment 
of Nitros9 in general.  Grepping the src tree, my name falls out 45 
times. Thats more than I actually have contributed because I tend to add 
my name in a comment when I have fixed something I consider to be 
important enough to note it.  Might be 6 or more hits in one file. So 
dilute that 45 accordingly.

Yours?  I cannot get a hit.  Seems like I should ask why not?
