Re:   <CPM.DSKUTL>FSDU.LBR  (full screen DU)

FSDU is HARD WIRED in ALL the info it should get from the DBP (e.g.
BLOCK ZERO starts on TRACK 2, and MAX TRACKS = 76, skewing, dbl/sng
density, byte/word blocks, etc...) which needless to say causes gross
problems on a hard disk system!  When I tried to log in my B: and C:
disks it gave me the next 76 tracks of the A: drive!  Also there is no
patch area (or even equates) for terminal codes, these too are hard
wired all over the code.

This program could cause much misery to someone less than expert at
CP/M disk conventions.
