Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6597 (RAMPAC DIAGNOSTIC)

Hi Ron:
 
        Yes it's really me, I'm out of retirement!  I know that we've never
talked before but let me jump in here... I bought a RAMPAC from Tracy years ago
just to find out how it preformed as a storage media.  I found that it was good
for interim storage but that disk was more permanent... however with the advent
of James Yi's NPL.CO for the 100/102 and 200 that it was great for cleaning up,
reorganizing, copying and defraging disks.  NPL.CO is in our library and it's a
super program with DOS like features such as *, ?, quarry for file, delete file
after copying, ignore file if it contains, execute command in reverse direction
of current setting, bank 0 and 1 selection for the TDD2 and much, much more!
James Yi also wrote a program to replace the file manager that comes with the
RAMPAC but it wasn't available in the public domain at the time... have you
seen it, is it on CompuServe?  -=Robert=-
