PFS3 files needed

Weird I've always had very prompt service from them (usually next
day via normal post).

Probably worth checking that the updates will work on that as well.

Also worth checking whether there's anything else missing,
if you send me a LIST ALL of the floppy I'll check if
any of the other bits are missing - which seems likely
since there's over 2MB worth of files (and that's only
including the English docs and FS).

Well there's a reasonable repair util as well (and I have needed
to use it a few times on a couple of partitions that get a lot
of use).

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!

The PFS3 CDs sold out and there wasn't enough demand to justify another
production run.

The progress.gadget is missing from SYS:Classes. This is needed by
PFSDoctor. By the time you need that, it's a bit late to find a file is
missing.

I only needed it once, when my AACD partition went Non-DOS an hour
before the AACD deadline. PF3 is more reliable than PFS2, especially on
operations involving large numbers of files.
