    ÔHIS ÓÄÁ WILL DISSOLVE INTO A MENU-
DRIVEN 1581 DISK DRIVE UTILITY THAT
HELPS TO CATALOG AND FILE YOUR 1581
DISK LIBRARY. ÉT IS WRITTEN IN ÂÁÓÉÃ,
BUT IT'S NOT AS SLOW AS YOU MIGHT
EXPECT. ÓINCE MY SYSTEM IS SET UP WITH
THE 1581 AS DEVICE #9, ALL FILES AND
PROGRAMS LOOK FOR THAT DEVICE #. ÔHE
PROGRAMS ARE LISTABLE, SO YOU SHOULD BE
ABLE TO MODIFY THEM TO READ/WRITE TO
DEVICE #8, IF YOU'D LIKE. É HAVE A 1541
VERSION WRITTEN, AND IF ANYBODY WANTS
IT, É WILL Õ/Ì IT. ÐLEASE SEND Å-ÍAIL.
*************** ×ÁÒÎÉÎÇ ***************
       (AND É'M NOT KIDDING...)
ÄÏ ÎÏÔ, É ÒÅÐÅÁÔ, ÄÏ ÎÏÔ USE THIS FILE
ON THE 1541. ÔHE 1581'S ÂÁÍ IS AT TRACK
40, WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM THE 1541
ÂÁÍ LOCATED AT TRACK 18! ÉF YOU ATTEMPT
TO USE THIS PROGRAM ON YOUR 1541, YOU
WILL SCREW UP YOUR ÂLOCK ÁVAILABILITY
ÍAP, AND POSSIBLY TRASH PREVIOUSLY
WRITTEN FILES! ÁNOTHER DISTINCT
POSSIBILITY IS THAT YOU ÍÉÇÈÔ GET
LUCKY, AND JUST HAVE THE DRIVE TRY TO
ACCESS TRACK #40, WHICH DOES NOT
LEGALLY EXIST ON THE 1541, AND YOUR
DRIVE WILL GO OFF INTO NEVER-NEVER LAND
REQUIRING A PHYSICAL RESET (OFF/ON) OF
THE DRIVE.
    ÉN THIS PROGRAM, YOU WILL HAVE THE
CHANCE TO MODIFY YOUR DISK'S É.Ä.#.
ÁGAIN, THIS IS FOR 1581 DISKS ÏÎÌÙ. ÔHE
PROGRAM HAS NUMEROUS SAFEGUARDS BUILT
IN, BUT IF YOU HAVE SWAPPED DISKS
DURING THE PROGRAM RUN, IT MIGHT NOT GO
THROUGH THE FULL ERROR DETECTION, AND
TRY TO WRITE ILLEGALLY TO YOUR 1541
DISK. ÔO BE SAFE, JUST Ä/Ì IT TO A 3.5"
DISK, SO YOU WON'T BE TEMPTED TO TRY IT
ON THE 1541!
    É'VE HAD A FEW NON-COMPUTER
LITERATE FRIENDS TRY TO CRASH THE
PROGRAM, AND É'VE OBSERVED JUST ONE
"GLITCH". ÔHIS PROGRAM ÍÕÓÔ BE LOADED
ÁÎÄ RUN FROM DEVICE #9, PERIOD. ÔHE
BLOCK-LOADER WAS WRITTEN TO ACCESS THAT
DRIVE, AND IF RUN ON DEVICE #8, YOU'LL
SEE THE "ÌÏÁÄÉÎÇ..." SCREEN, BUT IT
WILL LOCK UP YOUR SYSTEM. ÉF YOU HAVE
ACCESS TO A Í/Ì MONITOR, YOU CAN LOAD
"ÍÅÎÕ", CHANGE THE DEVICE #, THEN
RE-SAVE THE FILE BACK TO DISK. ÂUT, IF
YOU WANT TO DO THAT, PLEASE JUST Å-ÍAIL
ME, AND É'LL UPLOAD THE VERSION ×ÒÉÔÔÅÎ
FOR DEVICE #8.
    ÐLEASE DISSOLVE ALL THESE FILES ON
ÏÎÅ DISK, TO SAVE ON DISK SWAPS. ÓINCE
MY LIBRARY FOR THE 1581 IS STILL MEDIUM
SIZED, ONE DISK WORKS NICELY.
    ÈOPE YOU LIKE IT!
