A full 68 Granules cannot be DOSOR9'ed since you need to take Track 0 out of
service for OS-9's use.  I don't believe a simple patch will fix the problems
you described but I suppose one could _carefully_ use DSKI$ and DSKO$ to
physically move the files around to a more "acceptable" form and then to
manaully update DECB's FAT.  Despite the "fix" you described, I have never
successfully used DOSOR9 with more than 21 Granules used per disk.  I have
already decided to just get GCS File Transfer Utilities and complementary
SDISK-3 so I can handle any size DECB file (up to 68 Grans anyway) as well as
MS-DOS disks.  Not to mention having something better than trscopy to transfer
OS-9--->DECB.  For a file that's not too big, I've found the best way to do
that is to upload it to my PER area on sterm and download it on Ultimaterm. 
(Or sometimes, just redownload from the Lib or the BBS).  Trscopy will usually
manage to huff and puff its way through transfers to OS-9 but I still have a
lot of trouble with making it do the opposite.
