There seems to be a big issue with using very last (multi directory) Atr's (15/16megs in size) made with the above PC utilities and using these created ATR's with mydos (any version) on a800win+ (any version)

As i remember it, both atrutil and makeatr, support mydos (v. large) formatted atr's and that these programs allow you to create multi level directories i.e D1/D2 etc etc

Once i've formatted my ATR usining either of the aobve utils (my dos format) copied a bunch of atari execs (pc format) accross (upto 63) and created the next level directory and do the same again, until i fill up all the sectors, i select save (to save the ATR) exit the pc util and load up the emu with mydos

Once mydos has loaded, insert the recently created Atr as D2,

press 2 on the mydos menu (for directory listist of drive two content's...no problem, it lists properly and can access/manipulate all the files on this directory

select the 'R' option of mydos (to select the next directory) for instance D2, so you go, R, D2:D2, as D2 is the drive i want to access and the directory on that drive i want to access is also D2

All i get it either an error message or it seems to accept the input but only displays the previous directories contents and not the directory i wanted to access
