I think we've all had to write an undelete program for DECB.  I had to
write mine after Spell-n-Fix II crashed and deleted an 11-granule
file!  And I didn't have the Disk BASIC manual with me, so there was
*lots* of experimenting there. 

Anyone else have that problem with Spell-n-Fix II from Star-kits?  If
it encountered an 8-bit character, it would crash and delete its input
file. I think it needed a CoCo 3 patch.  

I knew that, but it had been years since I'd used my CoCo, and I
forgot.  It was an unpleasant reminder.
