Re: Getting FUD "into" a DOS Master Volume

[Rich Dreher <rich@dreher.net>]

I haven't tried it recently, but you should be able to copy FUD to any 
scratch DOS3.3 floppy from prodos using Copy II+ or similar and then 
boot into DOS master, and then BLOAD FUD from the floppy and then BSAVE 
it back to any DOS.MASTER volume.

Someone else can followup with the locations that tell you the length
of the file after it has been BLOADed... I forget offhand.
