   Grrrr.  When I look at the message in Google Groups, all tab characters are   
   removed and it looks terrible.  I will now post after replacing each tab with

   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!   
      
   Tommy
