      Mike -

      Enclosed are the promised disks.  I think the tally is now 15 -
      found another that I thought you might want.  There is, I am sure,
      some redundancy in files over the lot.  But since it is rather a
      bother to compare and consolidate, ...

      There is a peculiarity in the DOS disks running on my machine that
      I don't really understand the reason for.  It may also be true on
      yours, so be wary!  The situation is this.  Only the one marked
      System Disk will boot on my machine.  The other ones that carry
      the system get into IO.SYS and then an Interrupt Trap stops the
      process and displays registers.  My first thought was to GENSYS
      the system from the good to the bad.  BAD IDEA!  The result was
      that the good disk became bad in the same way, and the bad was
      worse - it just hung.  What does work and what I would recommend
      as a *very* early course of action for you is to grab a handful of
      DSDD disks, come up on the system disk in A:, and FORMAT B:/S each
      of the DSDD disks.  This will make them each bootable.  Then using
      DISKCOPY, make working copies of each one that I am sending.
      Preferably, several of the System Disk.  With that safety margin,
      you can experiment to see if your machine acts differently than
      mine.

      I'm afraid you are on your own as far a copying the P-System disks
      is concerned.  I haven't had the chance to progress that far yet!

      Good luck!
