Summary: GEMBOOT fouls up MWC 2.0 too and...

re gemboot:  the old version ( 1.06 ) gets in the way of MWC 2.0, but the
interaction is all in the shell_p_ variable and this is easy to get
around.  The new version ( gemb1v10.arc ) is however also incompatible
and bootfix.prg can't help.  Any ideas out there?

Further to this theme:  hdb2.3 absolutely fouls things up for the MWC
ramdisk utility.  I have tried every combination and sequence of things
I can imagine, and nothing seems to work.  Any gurus out there who
can help?  Because I really do like the MWC idea of a 'frozen' ramdisk
ready to install (already containing your choice of files).  And I also
like the idea of booting from something besides my pokey ol' floppy.
But floppy boots it shall be, since C compiles without the ramdisk
are only slightly preferable to visits to one's dentist :-)

To change the topic slightly:  many kudos to the authors of CAP.  Nice
stuff, gentlemen!
