I have two Prodos questions.  First, can non-gs Apples use CDAs?  I realize
you could not load very many, but is it possible?  Is there a tool to at least
let us non-gs owners use one CDA at a time?  Just curious, my local user group
didn't know.

Secondly, is there a way to patch Prodos so that programs that switch back
to 40-cols from 80-cols would actually do this on an AppleII+?  Using PR#0
does not cut it, you need to use ^Z1 (at least on my Videx clone).

If these are silly questions, I apologize and plead that I am a relative 
newcomer to Prodos (but not to DOS 3.3 and CP/M! :-) ).  Thanks for any info
you can give me.  Send me E-mail or post if you think it is important enough.
