*1987*... Now there's foresight!
Well... That sounds like the problem. I had tried some other years in case
the "99" was the problem but, didn't think to try anything that far back.
I'll give that a try when I get home.
I Don't have my Linux box running at the moment so, I'll grab the emulator
later.
Thanks.

The problem is that TRSDOS 6 will not accept _any_ date after 1987.
That applies to 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2. Try giving it a 1986 date and see
if it takes it.
Supposedly, it is still possible to get the update to TRSDOS to fix
this from Tandy, however it is not necessary. Go to Tim Mann's web
page, where he has available for download the final release of
LS-DOS, which has the fix.

Oh, and while you're there, and if you run Linux or any other
flavor of *nix, grab a copy of his newest improved xtrs TRS-80
emulator. I am now running Model One Scripsit and VisiCalc on my
P133 notebook with no need to use dosemu as a go-between as was the
case with the other emulators I'd tried. (There's a .rpm of the
version a couple of patchlevels back at contrib.redhat.com).
