I am running ZCPR (version 1) on a Heath H89.  I seem to remember
reading or seeing recently a scheme whereby the file search was
extended to include files of the *.OVR and *.MSG type, so that if
you were to be logged onto Drive C: and issued the command SC
(with SC being on A:), the SC program would know where to find
its overlays.  As it is, of course, ZCPR finds SC which then
errors out because it cannot find its overlay files.  Can anyone
help me locate the "fix" I think I saw?

Please reply directly to me (stanley at eclb), and I will
summarize for the net.  Thanks in advance.

This is going to involve a change to the BDOS or a way to keep part of
ZCPR resident while a program is running.

What I did to solve this same problem on my H89 was to disassemble
the BDOS and change it so that all files in user area 0 are visible
from any other user area.  This makes SWEEP painful, so I keep all my
files on A: in 0 and on B: I keep no files in 0.  Not elegant, but it
has worked for a long time.
