I just got the KERMIT file transfer protocol files and was delighted
and ready to put them in when I saw that I'd have to have the ACTION!
language cartridge in order to do so.  Also, because Atari's DOS II
destroys the T: and R: drivers, I have to recompile the programs before
I can run them each time.  The suggested alternative was to build my
own AUTORUN.SYS which would compile automatically the stuff, and save
me time.  Does anyone know how I would go about writing such a system?
And what software I need?  (remember please I am a very new Atari owner
with an 800XL --> please don't look down on me, ST owners).

Also, I know that they'd LIKE Me to get the cartridge rather than have
action! put onto a diskette, but is it possible to have someone put it
on diskette for me?  Would I still be able to run the stuff? and compile
it?

Ignorantly yours,
