The part I'm having a problem with at the moment is figuring out a way to
record it to HD.  I seem to be somewhat lacking in terms of functional
software in that department,  for some reason...

I dunno,  I couldn't even *compile* it today -- got "permission

Unfortunately I can't do that with the 8.1 disc I have here -- it's missing
a bunch of stuff,  like the directories that normally contain the floppy
images,  for example.
