Subject: Another set of dumb questions...lol

On the subject, would anyone using DFS Explorer or ADFS explorer please ensure
the most recent patch has been applied to the BBC servers.  Jon's original
post is here:

In brief, line 4110 of DFSXFER.BAS (version 2.0.0) should be changed from:
4110 LDA #1
to:
4110 PHA:LDA#1:JSR single1:PLA:RTS

with a similar update for ADFSXFER.BAS.

Otherwise certain byte sequences are corrupted on transfer from the BBC micro
to the PC.  The CRC does not catch these as it only covers the compressed stream.
