to ALL about MDM717.MOD

When trying to overlay MDM717 with the M7NM-2.ASM file
I found that the ORG of 0D00h was bad...After hunting
around, I found the new location should be:
 
                    ORG     0CDFh
 
I have changed M7NM-2.ASM accordingly and will be carrying
a copy called M7NM-3.ASM with the new ORG as stated.

to ALL about NO MORE MDM RELEASES!!!

  Apparently, Irv didn't get the word -- I'm making MAJOR
modifications to MDM7 and am totally unwilling to add any-
one else's belatedly.  If you don't want to be left behind
(I will release a version # ahead of yours if need be), then
WAIT until I get done.  I will be only a few more days.
  Among the new features will be a TYPE command, a RENAME,
enhanced DIR command, ZCPR2-style DU file specifications,
and several other things I'm not specifying (in case I don't
get to them all).  So please, read and heed.

to ALL about MORE RE MDM720

  Re the previous messages about the phone number library:
I have changed the ORG back to 0D00H.  This was not done
indiscriminately; MDM720 will have a new configuraton block
located immediately after the phone # library (the whole
thing will be configurable, including the modem overlay,
with my newest version of MLOAD; ddt no longer necessary).
Hence, this area must stay firmly located, now and forever.
  (Fair warning; don't spend a lot of time changing phone #
overlay files back, you'll just have to do it again later).
  Please forgive the tone of this and the previous message;
I am a bit upset about the new release of MDM several days
after I posted a message here asking for a moratorium, but
I guess I'll get over it (I just hate to have to go back and
add Irv's 717 stuff to what is no longer a correct ante-
cedant.  Plus I have this funny feeling that Irv is about
to do a 718....).           --Ron
