Just packed the makedesc.bas program from the lzh archive and tried to 
run it. While the program seems to work OK from within Basic09, it 
generates the 43 error as packed Basic09 i-code. That's both with 
syscall in the cmds directory and preloaded into memory.

Something strange going on here. Most likely thing I can think of is 
that error-43 is being generated by the program itself because I don't 
have a Glenside IDE controller. If that is the case, the program should 
not generate errors already assigned to OS-9.
