[Coco] DriveWire is just a hobby (Was: DW4 on MAc & Linux)

[Al Hartman]

Not currently using ADOS because I can't find my ADOS equipped Controller. 
It's here somewhere... (that's been my catch phrase of late.)

It makes no sense to load ADOS, and then immediately load HDB-DOS over it. 
My plan is to put HDB-DOS on a second ROM in my J&M Controller and only use 
it when needed. I just like ADOS that much more.

But thanks! I forgot about that command.

I just found my original ADOS manual! Pretty neat that I still had it.

Al,

Well, since you indicated you were using ADOS (yay!), just use its
SCAN command and it will show start, end, and exec for a binary file:
SCAN"XYZ"
