Stop the presses!!!  Several people replied to my plea for help with offers
of programs to encode a boot disk as a file and then reconstruct the boot
disk.

As there have been <MANY> requests, I will try to use that method rather
than physical mail, except in cases where the requestor has no way to
download a file.  If you are in that category, PLEASE REPEAT YOUR REQUEST
WITH MAILING ADDRESS.  I hope that will be a very small number of mailings.

ALL OTHERS please standby, and I will soon post (a) the program(s) to
encode and decode boot disks, and (b) the encoded 800 Turbo BASIC disk.

NOTE:  The excitement is about a version for the 800 (or presumably 400
upgraded to 48K).  Latecomers who have 800XLs or XE machines want the
XL/XE version, which has some advantages.  If you are in that category,
please request the XL/XE version if you lack it.

At present, there is no COMPILER for the 800, or at least I don't have it.
(There is a compiler to go with the XL/XE version.)
