  Yes, thanks. I originally asked if anyone had written one, and several
people told me where to find it. Unfortunately I managed to blow away
the disk doing something else, so until I borrow a tape drive again I am
still out of luck.

  Has anyone made V.4 work with the EV-811 controller? If so, what's the
secret? I have two, and neither will work, although they came via Bell
Tech, who may have modified them more than they admit. Until I get
either the secret to running the one I have, or one that works, or a
controller, I am reduced to borrowing a tape drive every few weeks.

  When I get it reloaded I know where to find alloca, anyway.
