Thanks.  Any idea if there's a manual specific to the PET version?  I
tried both petspeed-80col.d64 and petspeed.d80 -- the compiler launches
and prompts me for a filename, but after that I always get the following
error message:

disc error for programname:    74,drive not ready,00,00

Possibly the compiler works only with certain PET models, or certain
disk drive models, or is expecting a blank disk in the second drive of a
dual disk drive...  I've blindly tried a few different combinations but
so far nothing has worked.

Regards,
Tristan
