Bravo, Chris!  There has always been way too much mumbo jumbo in
the disk and tape drivers.  Seventeen routines that do the same thing
with the "ab" changed to "cd" indeed!  That's almost as bad as the six
copies of "tgetent" used for gettytab, remote, printcap, ...	:-)

Not only is it cleaner and simpler, it runs faster, and in less space!
