   He then described the problem that arises when the $$$.SUB file in A0:
disappears from the command processor's sight when it is logged into a user
area other than 0.

   There is a very simple solution.  Get rid of that obsolete ZCPR30!
Version 3.3 fixed that problem by having the CCP look always in A0: for the
$$$.SUB file.

   This does occasionally cause some problems, however.  Some programs
(e.g., dBase) spawn tasks by writing out a $$$.SUB file and then
terminating.  Naturally, as conventional CP/M programs, they write the file
to the current user area.  Z33 and Z34 will not see the file at all.  I
beleive that patches have been published for some of the programs to make
them write to A0:.  The ZSDOS DOS path searching facility can also solve
this problem (and probably ZCPR30's problem, as well).
