Barbara, this is the second time that you've referred to the Nov-80 version
of Microsoft Apple CP/M.  You may have version 2.20, in which there were
pretty definitely bugs with random I/O.  Microsoft has since gone to version
2.23 which has corrected all known problems with random I/O.

In addition to correcting a lot of niggling bugs, they folded the CCP into
the second 4K bank of the language card, allowing a 60K configuration of
CP/M.  Unfortunately, all non-DR programs that know about the CCP too well
(the latest version of BDS C being a prime example--Leor take note!) don't
work with the 60K configuration, forcing you to stick with the 56K
configuration.

You should be able to get an update from Microsoft by sending in your
original disks with $7.50.  You might call first to make sure that
they haven't raised the fee or done something nasty like shut the window
on updates (I wouldn't put it past them--I've gotten the impression
from talking to them that they aren't too friendly to customers).
