This is all very well and good, but then how does one go about using PD
programs that require GDOS?  Case in point:  I have Opus, and would 
really like to use the charting functions, but that requires making
metafiles.  Actually, I have GDOS, as distributed with my Wordup disks, 
but I still lack the META.SYS file I need for Opus.  So do I need to buy
a commercial program that includes META.SYS?  Or can I buy it separately?
Or is it public domain?  I've posted this question a couple times before,
with no response, so perhaps I'll have better luck this time.
