--------------------------------------

  In the hope of stimulating some activity in this newsgroup....
I have written a replacement disk device driver for Color Computer OS-9.
This module is a vast improvement over the standard issue CCDisk; it runs
double-sided disks, 40 or 80 tracks, and still reads/writes the ol' 35 track
single siders. If there is sufficient interest out there I will post the
assembly source, commented. I'm placing this program in public domain rather
than go through all the stuff needed to market it -- $$ from people finding
it useful would be much appreciated. I've written or rewritten several OS-9
utilities too, and if there's some interest out there in netland will post
those too. Can anybody use:

 A new OS9Gen that can handle double sided disks. Not finished yet but should
    only take a few days.

 An improved version of Dump that adds an option to start the listing at an
    address other than 0000 and doesn't repeat part of the second-to-last
    line's data when the last line is less than 16 bytes.

 Modifications to S. B. Goldberg's 80-column directory program (which appeared
    in Rainbow magazine a couple months ago) to make it print out the current
    date in the header and accept multiple arguments.

 A utility to split up the OS9Boot file into its component modules and store
    them in files individually. I posted this a few months ago and never
    got any response.

  Any suggestions for programs I haven't thought of, bugs to correct, etc.
will be considered. I've been writing this stuff for my own use but other
people can probably use it too.

 Stupidity got us into this mess -- why can't it get us out of it?
