I'm glad to hear that.  Incidentally, my advocacy of FDI (the file format 
not the disk2fdi setup) may be unfounded (I have no way of testing it) or it 
may be impossible or too hard to implement on an Apple ][.  I would just 
like you and other authors to take a hard look at it before coming to a 
decision.
