I just got a copy of Davex mailed to me which filled both sides of a 5.25 disk (mailed FOR FREE, no less. Honest, David, I'm going to get a job soon!) The back side has the vstore, vrestore, the appendix on writing your own commands, and some example source files. I recommend this to ANYONE who does ANYTHING with ProDOS. The filetype change command (wanna convert BIN to SYS?) is another (very useful) thing I forgot to mention (ECP does have this... but who wants to put up with the keyclick? I don't think the "silent" patch was included in the posting...). Excuse me, I'm going to go "update" my davex files... new things get added, updated versions of files get updated, my own aliases (which are newer than any of the disk stuff) are left alone... Think I'll start using Merlin Pro again... -- laba-4an@widow.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden)
