And the drain-dead DFS disables SPOOL output from any filing
system call so you can't even spool *INFO *.* to a file. Gahh! I
ensured HADFS was able to spool file info output without it even
occuring to me not doing so.
 
How about redirecting WRCHV:
 
addr=&A8
.catch
STY tmp
LDY #0:STA (addr),Y
INC addr:BNE P%+4:INC addr+1
LDY tmp:RTS
.tmp
EQUB 0
 
oldwrch=!wrchv AND&FFFF
!wrchv=(!wrchv AND-65536)ORcatch
!addr=buffer%
*INFO *.*
!wrchv=(!wrchv AND-65536)ORoldwrch
