I am running ZCPR (version 1) on a Heath H89. I seem to remember reading or seeing recently a scheme whereby the file search was extended to include files of the *.OVR and *.MSG type, so that if you were to be logged onto Drive C: and issued the command SC (with SC being on A:), the SC program would know where to find its overlays. As it is, of course, ZCPR finds SC which then errors out because it cannot find its overlay files. Can anyone help me locate the "fix" I think I saw? Please reply directly to me (stanley at eclb), and I will summarize for the net. Thanks in advance. ...Dick Stanley

This is going to involve a change to the BDOS or a way to keep part of ZCPR resident while a program is running. What I did to solve this same problem on my H89 was to disassemble the BDOS and change it so that all files in user area 0 are visible from any other user area. This makes SWEEP painful, so I keep all my files on A: in 0 and on B: I keep no files in 0. Not elegant, but it has worked for a long time.
