Actually, the compiler does not use save with replace, but both the
editor and linker do.  In any case I thought the save-with-replace
debate was resolved some time ago: as long as you specify a drive
number you shouldn't have any problems. All of my programs do it this
way, and in three years of heavy usage I have not had any disk errors
with any clear connection to the use of SWR. Maybe I'm lucky, or maybe
only some versions of the 1541 have the bug while mine is ok, but I
tend to doubt it.
