Of course, having Bird's Better Bye built-in is much nicer, no extra file in the Main directory, and when you put PRODOS on another disk, the program selector automatically moves along with it. I would just recommend that folks not try to install the "Bye" themselves, leave it up to someone who knows a bit more about it.. namely Alan. I'm sure he's got a PRODOS 1.8 with Bird's Better Bye.. or will shortly. --Mark Munz
