Case in point: The ARP Cd program distributed on some fish disk back in the late 40's or early 50's has worked fine with me for some months now. But it bombs with XICON, a program which comes on the BADGE KD disks which (evidently) runs batch files from an icon. With the ARP Cd, each of these batches bombed with a "Cd failure:" message. The real Cd coped fine. Just what is the bug? I can't say. Maybe ARP Cd doesn't work in batch files. Maybe it interacts with XICON. Whatever the bug, it's subtle, but it's there. Kenneth Herron
