     You only need RASM/LINK if you're going to re-assemble
HEADENTR.A86.  You can alter the system to your hearts content with
CDOSINST and the appropriate XIOS.CON file.

     Do you have documentation for this?  You DO know that you're
supposed to use GENCCPM to re-generate the OS?  Ok, then.

     Now, both RASM86 and LINK86 are *NOT* public domain.  They are
copyrighted software packages, and as such cannot be passed around.
What you need to do is to find a copy of the "Programmer's Utilities"
package for CP/M-86.  You'll find RASM and LINK there.

     Oh, BTW... RASM 1.0 will *NOT* correctly assemble HEADENTR, nor
will LINK86 1.0 link it correctly.  In order to do it, I used RASM86
v1.3 from the Assembler Plus Tools package, and LINK86 v1.02 from my
copy of DRI's C compiler.  This was forced on me because the
XIOS320.CON file supplied by CompuPro won't allow a PC-DOS partition
due to a bad media byte.  I had to re-assemble it.

     If you can tell me what you want done, I suppose I can assemble
it for you.
