Could all the people who have reported trouble with the @0: command please
give some more information on the type of files they had on the disks when
they had problems?  Were the files of type: program, sequential, relative,
and/or random?  I have disks with just 'prg' and 'seq' files on them and I
have never had any problems with the save and replace command  (at least with
about 20-30 uses of the command).  Could the problem be related to the vintage
of disk drive used?  My drive has that 'whacking' sound whenever I perform a
disk initialization but I have heard rumors that current models no longer do
that.  (Sounds like a great idea if the sound is indeed the by-product of a
head de-alignment process.)
