   Hi Eric,   
      
   I don't know if I posted my instructions earlier for compiling STARTUP.TEXT,   
   but just now, after many years, I looked in my spreadsheet and found my own   
   instructions for compiling STARTUP.TEXT. Hopefully the formatting will look ok   
   since copy/pasting    
   from an Excel spreadsheets inserts "tab" characters between columns.  It looks   
   MUCH better with the indentation (this is my try #2 at posting to Google   
   groups).   
      
   I used my modified AppleWin with 4 disk drives. I believe SETCHAIN is part of   
   the Pascal "intrinsics".   
      
   I hope this helps!
