Whilst normally I'd agree with you, this re-directs all disc accesses
to the ram drive - since the app is running from Econet (I found those
commands in the !Boot) I'm guessing that the app objected to not being
run without DISC being the current FS, and the -DISC- redirects
sufficiently changed the current FS while the command was being
executed..

I've been busy *DUMPing all the ROM images I have on the fileserver,
but not found anything obvious.  It may have been one I had as a
physical ROM loaded into the cartridge slot, so I'd better run through
my collection of those, too, in case I still have it ..
