LDSK20.LBR.1 15488(8) PD:<ZSYS.ZSIG> LDSK20 allows the user to reference an LBR file as a disk. This file does NOT allow you to reference a .LBR as a disk (too bad, would be nice)... It is nice ... Note that there *is* software which permits a .LBR file to be addressed as a disk. The version I have is 2.2, but there may be a later version. Don't know if it is stored at SIMTEL or not. As I recall, my version came by way of the Meadowlark BBS in Canada. The relevant file is LBRDSK22.LBR. It contains a program which implements, in CP/M 2.2, a facility similar to the CP/M 3.0 RSX. This RSX "installer" is then used to instantiate an RSX which implements the ".LBR as a disk" capability. I am not a heavy user of the software, but I have some friends who use it all the time. There is some problem related to my hard drive BIOS/ROM (Kaypro 10) and I've never had the ambition to track it down, primarily because I don't have the source for the software. My friends have machines with floppys, and they have not had any trouble. /Jerry
