I agree its good information.  The question is where to store it.  I don't
know of a wiki for ADOS or for HDBDOS.   Which would it fall under?  My
first guess would be in ADOS documentation, actually i suspect the command
itself is already documented, just not this specific instance of its use.

If HDBDOS is now part of the Toolshed project then we could add an hdbdos
section on the toolshed wiki at sourceforge.  Really it seems like hdbdos
should be it's own sourceforge project to me, but I am not involved with
that project so there may be good reasons it isn't am I am just not aware.
