Re: IBM 7.1 OS .iso images

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah!  That makes some sense since the mangling of volume ID, etc that 
could happen when moving images to CD and vice versa and would 'break' 
the sorting.  I have a vague recollection of looking at the disks with 
DSPOPT a long time ago.   Based upon what you and the good Dr. Franken 
say, I have been wasting my time sorting the images rather than just 
using the SORT(*YES) feature.  I'll give that a try on my next 
install/update.

Thanks
