Re: From the WTF File: ProDOS and DOS 3.3 peacefully cohabiting

This contains a program I wrote to cram DOS 3.3 into 256 fewer bytes (by disabling format and revectoring a couple patches) so that ProDOS need not be overwritten. It's a SYS file, and runs from ProDOS 8. (I also tested it under GS/OS 5.0.4) On the DOS 3.3 side of the disk is a file RETURN TO PRODOS, which pokes in the MLI call for "quit", then executes it - proving that ProDOS is still fully available.

It's useless, but eh.

DOS 3.3 will run happily in just 16KB...
