	I have the HDBDOS Offset working, but, syntax is different. You need to 
specify it for each file/directory in a copy. So I added to the 'drive' specifier.

Syntax is:

decb dir imagefile.dsk,:drive+HDBDOSoffset

decb copy /location/of/image.dsk,filename:drive+HDBDOSoffset
/other/file/location.dsk,newname:drive+HDBDOSoffset

Boisy:

	I need permission to commit my changes to HG. I don't think I'm a member yet.
