        LDSK20.LBR.1     15488(8)   PD:<ZSYS.ZSIG>

        LDSK20 allows the user to reference an LBR file as a disk.

        This  file  does  NOT  allow you to reference a .LBR as a disk (too
        bad,  would  be  nice)...


It is nice ...

Note  that there *is* software which permits a .LBR file to be addressed as
a  disk.   The  version  I  have  is 2.2, but there may be a later version.
Don't  know if it is stored at SIMTEL or not.  As I recall, my version came
by way of the Meadowlark BBS in Canada.  The relevant file is LBRDSK22.LBR.
It  contains a program which implements, in CP/M 2.2, a facility similar to
the  CP/M 3.0 RSX.  This RSX "installer" is then used to instantiate an RSX
which implements the ".LBR as a disk" capability.  I am not a heavy user of
the  software,  but  I have some friends who use it all the time.  There is
some  problem  related to my hard drive BIOS/ROM (Kaypro 10) and I've never
had  the  ambition  to  track  it  down, primarily because I don't have the
source  for  the software.  My friends have machines with floppys, and they
have not had any trouble.
