Graphics Extension can be installed both on 'B' and Master, and it
makes graphic programming much easier  - perhaps we could try to make
it a standard requirement as they're easily obtainable.  I'm no expert
in FORTRAN quadratics and I'm sure some other programmers aren't so
need this too.  If we're programming machine code then  - know any good
BASIC compilation tools that will compile extended BASIC or OS commands
so programs can run even on non-GrEx machines?

Doesn't OmniDisk do the same?

Well, if we simply send files on their own outside images, like ASCII
files we can put them onto any DFS... but I think you have a point  -
how do we copy and paste from emulator back to a text file for sending
onto other DFS's?  Richard Gellman, project for your next version of
BeebEM!!  OK, whatever DFS we use will depend on the structure of our
program.  Normally we'll be making simple programs so DFS will suffice.
 What are the benefits of using ADFS all the time?

Fiaz.
