One solution you might wish to look into is a program called G+Plus, which
replaces the Atari GDOS with a functional equivalent.  The nice thing about
G+Plus is that you can have individual ASSIGN.SYS files for individual
programs (ie. WORDUP.SYS, DGELITE.SYS, etc.) which you call up from a desk
accessory.

I've been using the package for about a week, and it hasn't interfered with
any of the many programs I've run, and I haven't seen the system slowdown
which I've associated with the GDOS program itself.

You can get more information through GEnie, or write to the folks at
CodeHead Software (Box 4336, N. Hollywood, CA 91607) for more information.
