I have had some requests for my ATR8000 disk copy utility.  It is a slightly
embarassing 'midnite hack'  that might be ATR ROM specific.  It also does
not support single density. It was written in ACTION! and M80 assembler.
This makes it difficult for most people to create the program from sources
(the M80 assembler was run on a DEC Rainbow,  and the linked file
transferred to the Atari via KERMIT).

If there is enough interest,  I will post it to the net.  However, it would
have to be posted in binary form.  Does anybody have a BINHEX type of
utility to do just that.  Another way (I guess) would be to have a BASIC
PUTter program to create the file with complete lack of error checking.
