Subject: Re: program to help WSTAR find overlays

David,
Maybe your BDOS is not standard ....

i.e. I do exactly what you say doesn't work - I have WS.COM, WSOVLY.COM and
WSMSGS.ORVR in user 0 disk A.  Now, any disk, any user can type 'WS' and
expect to get WordStar (running the ZCPR2 patches also.)  The 'r' command
of WordStar doesn't work as you stated unless the target program is also
marked public.  Note that the WS internal search for overlay must have
the proper drive where the overlays are located (label DEFDSK)

I used to use the DUPUSR kludge but got burned by it from (my) carelessness.
pubpatch is more 'elegant'.

(All of this on a NorthStar Horizon w/352k running TSS/C, a multi-user
CP/M system using one Z80 and bankswitching.  [yes, it *is* slow at times!])
