TECHNICAL NOTES
---------------
HYBRID.CREATE puts an empty ProDOS catalog on track 0 and tells ProDOS that 
only tracks 0 through 16 are available. It then puts an empty DOS 3.3 
catalog on track 17 and tell DOS 3.3 that only track 17 through 34 are 
available. The result is that each DOS gets approximately half of the disk. 
Both DOS's are happy with this set-up because ProDOS expects its directory 
to be on track 0, while DOS 3.3 looks on track 17.
