I don't know where I got it. Asimov or Trenco most likely. If you want 
it, take all the spam out of my address and I'll mail you the disk 
image.  "Program Writer" and "GPLE" are such hybrid disks. DOS.SYSTEM is 
on "Program Writer" as well as the ProDOS side of Extra-K.  The DOS 
version of Extra-K is easier to find than the ProDOS version.
