Re:   Previous request-for-information about P2DOS

Many thanks to the those who responded.  As pointed out by "Bernie
<EIBEN@MARLBORO.DEC.COM>" my only real problem was that the .COM file
created using the utilites provided in the .LBR is just a touch to
large.  A LOAD/SAVE 14 restores the file to its actual and proper
size.  After that it suddenly worked just fine....

...Well, almost:  If others attempt to install P2DOS, be forwarned
that as distributed the search path table is stored at 0040H
and following.  This area is designated as reserved for BIOS use
(not for the BDOS).  So, confirm first that your BIOS does not use
this scratch area or move the search path table elsewhere.  (My H89
BIOS--vanilla from Heath--does use it :-)
