Here is pt 2:From: JIM 13-OCT-1983 09:42To: PASCO,SOVEY,MILLER,CARL,ROBERTSSubj: DOS 2.0XLI have a hacked version of DOS 2.0S, which I have dubbed DOS 2.0XL,which you may be interested in. It stores DUP.SYS "under" theOS ROM in 64K XL computers the first time it is read from disk.Subsequent "reads" then happen at warp speed. This is great ifyou are tired of waiting for DUP.SYS to load if you are switchingbetween the editor and assembler a lot, or if you just want thefile manipulation functions while using BASIC.Limitations: The current version will NOT work with MEM.SAV. Ifthere is any interest, it looks fairly straightforward to puta psuedo-MEM.SAV under the OS ROM also, but since I never usethat feature...If you would like a copy, please give me a diskette. This programis offered without warranty, and I specifically disclaim any impliedwarranties of fitness for any particular purpose.From: JIM 1-NOV-1983 08:25To: SOVEY,ROBERTSSubj: WWV Toll Free(800) 957 9999Your Tax Dollar$ at work.From: ROBERTS 7-NOV-1983 10:33To: SOVEYSubj: rtcGodod morning Dave!!!
