Re: [emax] Re: Program to read EMAX disk images almost ready

Hey E,

Great work on this software!  I am looking forward to trying it out.  You say that the images must have been made with EMX.  This might sound foolish but, does that mean it will read standard Emax II disks or does that mean the disks had to be made with the DOS EMX program?
