Hi Bob
As I've shown in my previous mail, you can use it as
a starting place. I also have some code that I wrote to
maintain files on a DOS disk. It is bassed on the original
block system. Although, I didn't expand it to include
sub-directories, this could be added with a small additional
amount of code. The main thing is to get something working
and keep things open enough that you can expand later.
I wrote the DOS stuff so that I could more easily transfer
things between my PC and my block system. Start simple and
work towards a later complete system.

Use the whole disk ... block by block ... FIG FORTH worked this way.
Very tempting, as I'm adding a file system to a threaded interpreter
(not FORTH).
But a basic block system is just too primative. Named files at a minimum.
