I just noticed something interesting in my port 0 directory.  I just
loaded the latest version on HACKIT posted by Jake Schwartz.  When
I checked port0 to make sure that it was there, I noticed that the 
library number was displayed as 1214. (note the decimal point) while
other library numbers did not have decimal point.  A [REVIEW] of the
port's contents 1214.00  778  776  752 .  Sure enough, my display was
set to 2 FIX.  Changing the display to STD eliminated the decimal point 
and the trailing zeros.  It would seem that 4-digit library numbers are
treated differently from 3-digit library numbers in the directory listing.
Anybody care to hazard a guess as to why this is so?
