Regarding Commodore 128 program RDCBM10.COM (Read CBM format disks): Yes, indeed it seems that RDCBM10.COM (on SIMTEL20 in PD:<CPM.C128>) does drop approximately 137 bytes from the beginning of the file it is copying if the BINARY copy is specified. The reason I didn't see this right away is I only tried the TEXT copy (translated from Commodore to ASCII), and that works perfectly! Looks like it's time to contact the author - MIX C strikes again in all probability! Incidentally, this bug is not related to the output drive specification - it even fails this way when using M: as the output. Sincerely, Frank Prindle Prindle@NADC.arpa
