     A shell program, ~165 disk blocks (~60K) that performs disk I/O and
most of the
small standard functions (cat, alias, filename completion, grep, sort, more
and about 70 others...)
     In addition, because they didn't fit in memory with the main code,
are about
ten other programs (dc, a little DOS shell, ed, telnet (telecom) et. al.)  And 
I included a file called 'make' that, when run, writes a sample .login
and the man
pages to the disk.
     Most of the code is in vast need of improvement, which is one of the 
reasons I'm so eager to get other people to use/modify it.  For instance,
I wanted the telecom package I wrote to do VT-100, but I only got clear screen
and a few other things working.  The code is entirely in BASIC, but BASIC 128
makes it run pretty fast.
      At this moment, I'm feverishly working on getting fsck to write to
the disk
(I think I found a solution while in Calc II today).
     I'd like people who do use the code to let me know what needs fixing, and
even better, what you DID fix and how.  

     My school address is   P.O. Box 6124, SUNY Binghamton, Binghamton,
NY 13901.
I can be reached at CONSP24@BINGSUNS.POD.BINGHAMTON.EDU,
CONSP24@BINGVAXU.CC.BINGHAMTON
.EDU or CONSP24@BINGVAXA.CC.BINGHAMTON.EDU (I prefer BINGSUNS).  If
anyone wants
my phone #, write me.
     
     Lastly, when I have time I will do the uploads.  I will upload both
the source
and the compiled versions, and supporting files.  The question is: 
where do you
want it?  Tolsun and Tukki seem to be the only Commodore upload areas around.

     Oh, yeah, to Sean Burke and anyone else who wants to send me a disk:  I
only have the 5 1/4" 1571 in my 128D (no 3.5), but I'd be happy to copy the 
code for you (if everyone sends me a disk, I won't have to spend 8 hours
uploading!
:)  )
