The purpose of this patch would be to allow more than just .COM files to live on a sys: type area, but also the MINCE swap file, FORTRAN compiler error message file, BDS-C's various files etc. Would this be of use to anybody else? Does anybody know of any pitfalls? Has this already been done? I realize that this will require some code space in the CBIOS area to have enough room to accomodate the changes. I pretty much have the flowchart--what-have-you--developed but any info that someone would like to pass along would be appreciated. I believe that this would not cause any trouble with ZCPRx but I am not sure. --Neil [ MARON@LLL-MFE.ARPA]
