Hi,
I'm using Techmail-WIN 1.01 in the PC Lab in Sloan and came across the
following unusual behaviour.
I needed to look at a file on another diskette before sending a mail
message, so I shrunk Techmail to an icon, removed the diskette Techmail was
using to store my messages and then used the File Manager to get the
information from the second diskette. I then replaced the diskette with the
Techmail messages and it was unable to read the diskette. I exited to DOS
and I could not access any other diskette. I kept getting a message like
the following, "Illegal disk change in Drive A".
The only diskette that could be inserted and read in drive A was the second
diskette I had inserted after shrinking Techmail to an icon. Rebooting the
PC fixed the problem.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
Regards,
James.
