[1/9] zed 1.2

It’s quiet outside the window, and I’m sitting and writing a response to a letter written from Rick Murray to

It seems to me that if we are talking about a node tosser, then
it is naturally assumed that there will be at least two flops. Why not pine
for one point first? Let's say something like we have 500 kilograms of space on disk a.
We download a tosser to form a package for point .1, change the floppy disk,
similarly for .2, etc. Although the question remains in terms of tossing mail from a point,
when the layout goes both to the points and to the boss, but, IMHO, with a trick you can
try to get out...

With all sorts of regards and wishes.
Igor.

RM> hacky, it'll do. I start working on the node tosser. initially

RM> from a node), as necessary, a request for disks will be issued for
RM> downlinks. for each downlink you will need a separate disk.

We are waiting.

Hurray! Hurray! There is a proposal: let it work with disks from A to D and if
it is possible to make the procedure for changing the drive so that you can build in there
a program for automatically changing the disk (a subroutine for selecting a disk image
Tr-Dos on a Scorpio screw) and it will be rulez.

Have a nice connection.
