Excellent! Thank you. The docs explains the use of ATTACHUD, and the 
disk includes source for the original ADMERG, which was skeletal:

(* This program is short and sweet and not very robust.  It is that way 
to make it easy to type in.  Now you know the record size of ATTACH.DATA 
files, you are welcome to make it more robust yourself. *)

By version 1.3, the code to convert, show and merge attached drivers had 
been made into a product.
