[Coco] Extracting files from OS/9 DSK image

[Stephen Fischer]

Or somebody who is interested in how I got the Working Directory in one 
of the first programs I wrote and is set up all ready to run OS-9 or 
NitrOS-9. Salvador is way down the experience level.

If someone is interested in extracting the source and getting it to a 
windows readable file please PM me for a copy of the source disk (80T 2S 
DNS=3)

The online copy of my files still is AWOL as is one of the GUI interface 
tools I would use if I had a system that immune from the disaster it 
might cause. I will not expose my active W10 laptop to that dangerous 
program. Windows 2K installer from 1999 or earlier. Give me a break!

I am interested if there is a better way to obtain the working 
directory, I did not spot a better way all the time I was writing code.

The disk with the program ready to run is still online but will 
disappear in March 2020.

The program name is "ARCHIVE" and was written to update only the files 
that had changed on the Ram Disk to the backup floppy.

I certain would present the information to the user in a better way today.
