I have never heard of HRSDOS, but it's a great idea. Still, it sure
would be neat to be able to:
copy GAME.EXE /rs0/GAME.EXE
:-) Combining that with the SuperDriver descriptors that can access the
HDB-DOS portion of the hard drive and the extra steps of "rsdos" are a
thing of the past. I will be looking at the file manager code down the
line to see how easy it would be to do, unless someone beats me to it.
