Thank you Jim, it explain also why I was surprised to get access to all my 
source from within Merlin under kegs or xgs32 but not even using 
"teachtext" under GSOS. Even with utility like that the entire text IS 
garbage, I mean nothing nothing is readable... 

Thus I think I have no problem with my transfer method as I see that under 
kegs I have no problem to mount or launch the images files (.dsk or .2MG) 
I've created using dsk2file...

Hey ! I'm saving my old newbie assembler code ! It's really strange to have 
a look to source code I have written 15 years ago ! How could I learn to 
mush in only 3 years and so few since this time :-(
