[Coco] Toolshed quest

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

I am wondering if we are talking about different things.

I think that there are two or more versions of OS9.

The mention of "Toolshed" raises in my mind the possibility of a third as 
the two I have used were standalone.

ftp://www.rtsi.com/OS9/MSDOS/os9206a.zip

Is the one I plan to use to read ~ 100 real floppies.

But I have never used the "dsave" option and do not remember it at all.
