I have installed Archive on my CCS CP/M 2.2, ZCPR 1.0, with Morrow M26
Hard disk system.  It seems to set the bits which it is supposed to,
and it seems to copy files in a useful manner.  There is a bug,
however, which someone may be able to explain.  When I try to write
(modify) a file which has had its archive bit set (a normal,
unprotected file which I have examined beforehand) I get the Bdos
Read/Only error.  When I type a ^c to get out of the error and go look
at the file, I find that the File Descriptor Block has all 0s in the
record allocation area.  When I try to write the file again I am able to.

The Archive BDOS patch is obviously the source of this problem.  Perhaps
the CCS BDOS differs from Vanilla CP/M in some way? I don't think so. 
As far as I
know, the only strangeness about CCS is that they relocate CP/M an extra
2 k so that a 56K cpm has to be patched at 54K addresses.

Has anyone else had any problems or successes with Archive?

Phill
