Or 127 would make sense too: 2 records fit in a single sector. But 254 makes the most sense in Commodore disk context. UCSD Pascal uses 128 byte records. I recently improved REL file support in VICE for the "filesystem device". That is where you're not using a disk image but access the host's file system. My improvements seem good enough for Pascal but maybe OS-9 does different things. Maybe you can try? -Olaf. -- Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- rhialto at falu dot nl ___ Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on \X/ no account be allowed to do the job. --Douglas Adams, "THGTTG"
