Hi roger. In a message on 01-Aug-00 23:49:05, you wrote to Richard:

That one is 20 bytes larger than the "good" one that I use. Try a
hex read of the file, and you should see an "unofficial format"
version number. Mine is 65580 bytes and the text in the file says
"Version 1.0 GoldDisk 1988". The actual file, as extracted from the
.lha archive, is dated 13-Dec-88 - same as yours. The 20 byte
difference puzzles me.
I also have another version that misbehaves with "low memory" and
that one is 33340 bytes and has no readable version string in it.
I find it hard to believe there was an issue before 1988, but maybe
it was something Eric Schwartz cooked up. "GoldDisk" rings a faint
bell in my mind but I can't recall what that was.
