In article <5079@phoenix.Princeton.EDU>, I wrote that I was having trouble
using newzap.  The symptoms were general bizarreness, including that it
didn't do anything useful, except by accident or coincidence.  The problem
turns out to be that I was using it on files in my vdk: device.  Apparently
it chokes on them, while working just fine with ram: and floppies.  I could
take a couple of guesses as to why, but I suppose I'll just use it on files
on more well behaved devices, and leave it at that.
