For those out there still wanting to make a *backup* of your GEOS boot
disk, Fast Hack'em V.4.0 has the ability to make a backup that will
boot the C64 by itself (with the 1541 of course).  FH runs approx. $32
and is available from Basement Boys software in Oregon, I don't have
the address on me at the moment, but when I get it, I will post it.  I
made a backup of my GEOS disk and have my original stored in the box
it came in.  

I however have not bought the Writer's Workbench(Workshop?) as I have
read all the nasty comments about it on Quantum Link.  If anyone has
tried it, please let me know what you think about it.
