I have to agree.  If you are working on a Model 3, get LDOS 5.3, and
mung that!  LDOS is CHEEP now, and it's an excellent OS.  There is also
the fact that any directory perversion you come up with will also most
likely work under LSI-DOS 6.3 for the Model *4*.  I would LOVE to have
a tree directory structure; it's one of the exceedinly few things that
Mess-DOS does better than LSI-DOS.
