[comp.os.cpm] M80 ... <sigh>

<sigh>
Well, I now have Small-C, and it seems to compile things OK,
the only problem is, my copy of M80 is corrupt -
I tried assembling a test program (which clears the screen),
but it gave a 'BDOS error on P: Select' ....

(I had a *big* problem with the disk I initially got a copy
of M80 (& L80) on - after a spontaneous reboot, I found that
half the directory entries had been copied onto the other half !!
Needless to say, it was a late night (early morning ) before
I had even a hint of order about the disk (thank
goodness the Microbee has M/L monitor in ROM that can also
read/write disk (given track and sector numbers ... I have a question 
about this - see below ) ) )

Anyway, I would appreciate it if someone could send M80.COM and
L80.COM (preferably uuencoded) to dcook@spam.adelaide.edu.au ...

My question about track/sector numbers is: how do I map
the numbers in the directory entry onto physical track/sector numbers ?
(on a Microbee, CP/M 2.2, ZCPR )

Thanks in advance,
