   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.   
      
   I used my modified AppleWin with 4 disk drives.  I believe SETCHAIN is part of   
   the Pascal "intrinsics".     
      
   I hope this helps!
