I think copier will OPENIN one and OPENOUT the other, so it can copy 
files bigger than the memory in the machine, but its been a while sinced I 
used it last.

AIUI, with both installed, they will each take a chunk of memory above 
PAGE, and the one that's actually active at any given time will have some 
more that it will hand back when it's de-selected. On a B this pushes page 
up to something silly with DFS+ADFS+NFS, but on the Master it uses a 
special part of RAM (Hazel?) so page stays at &E00.

Cheers

Chris
