Hi Kevin,

thanks for the answer to both may questions.  But can you further assist
please.

>Hi. I think Rainbow magazine had a version of a hacked Clock (to toggle
>the GIME) a few months back.  There may be other versions floating
>around; I'll check (the only versions I have are unusable upgrade ones).

I realy like the Rainbow and every week I still wander up to the news
agent to see if my copy has arrived but alas there has been no delivery
to Australia for sveral months now.

This would make it hard to get the clock hack from the Rainbow (bummer).
If you can get a posting of this patch to me somehow that would be
terrific.

I have tried to send mail to you via Xrn (the X news reader) but they
all bounce back.

Several other people on the *.*.EDU net have massaged to exchange mail
with myself if you could try replying to this article maybe the mail
channel can be opened up.

Also thanks for your description to how the FD sectors are used to keep
track of open files.  Makes much more sence now.

regards,

Walter
