The book that you need is "TRS-80 Disk and other Mysteries" by
H.C. Pennington.
My copy is inaccessible to me until Monday. (in my office at the college)
The program that you need is "Hypercross"? or "PCXZap"? by Mike Gingel
("Hypersoft")
I'm giving final exams next week, so my schedule is a bit screwed up; If
you need help, I'll try to work it in.
