(about my problem with GS/OS not handling an illegal ProDOS filename)

:      This should not be too hard to fix. Use a block editor (like Block
: Warden, Block Works, ProSel-16's ZAP, ...) to find and modify the name
: on the disk.

:      You can do a Search of the disk's blocks for, say, SYS$.IMG and,
: once found, edit the block so that the new name is something like
: SYS1.IMG.

...Or for that matter, just RENAME the file from Applesoft or from a P8
file utility...both P8 and BASIC.SYSTEM patched just fine...it's GS/OS's
PRO.FST that is having trouble.

My preference, though, is to get the patch back in place so that the next
time I need to import something with an illegal filename, I can do it.  I
have gotten some assistance in that regard via email...I haven't
downloaded the patcher that Norman sent me yet, but I'll try it when I get
home...!
