Dave, I'm having some troubles using Davex's vstore/vrestore commands.  I am
trying to make a backup of a 1600k /ROM drive (Checkmate Memory Saver plus
Harris Labs 4meg card) to 800k floppies.  Everything seems to be fine until i
attempt a vrestore.  An error occurs (something about wrong starting block for
the second disk).  If I go into a block editor and look around, I can see
how/where the continuation of the backup should be.  The block number written
by Davex to the second disk at its block# 7, byte# 41 & 42 are wrong.  Hand
patching these two locations I've been able to use a couple of different
backups I've made (the number that goes into these two locations varies,
naturally).  Is there something "funny" about the vstore command?  Have I
missed a substantial fix (if this was known)?  Any help appreciated.
