I have sent the following message 5 times to the
os3.5list@amiga.com & for some reason over several days,
it fails to arrive. I am now trying the egroups list as well.
If this message arrives, there is definately something wrong with the
os3.5list@amiga.com domain, if the list manager is watching
please advise, as this is wierd & I am starting to get paranoid that my
domain has been blocked or something.... ??

I have a * BIG ANNOYING SCREAMING BUG*
that has been around forever, it is about time it was fixed
or at least repaired to some further degree...
When copying a floppy with a wonky cylinder or several,
the requester:
"Volume: blah has a read write error on block #####"
"Retry" - "Cancel"
If you retry, it just keeps coming back, forever.
If you "Cancel" it aborts trying that cylinder & tries the next one..
That usually fails too, it just keeps coming up forever & ever & ever.
The floppy passes a format ok, but fails at some point & "Cancel"
appears to be ineffective as EVERY cylinder to the end of the disk
is apparently "faulty" too....
How is this possible if it passed the "long" format ??
I really want to see it fixed once & for all & or a third option available,
so you have:
*"Retry", "Cancel", "Forget-It"*
As the only way to get out of this nightmare requester mess is
to pull the disk out, throw it in the bin with great force
from the other side of the room & reboot the machine....
