[Coco] Mastering OS-9 file corruption

[James Hrubik]

(was Re: [CoCo] Free OS-9 Documentation!!!)
Howdy Mr. Daggett:

I just paged through the entire volume.  Page 41 has some formatting  
corruption, but the rest of it looks pretty good.  I think some of  
the other screen "examples" are also off just a tad in their  
formatting.  Otherwise, that is an amazing book!  Anybody serious  
about using OS-9 (and NOS-9, by extension) should read it.
