Please ignore my last question about Xenix and two hard disks.  It was a
bug in IBM Xenix.  Switching to SCO solved my problems.  :)
But now, to ask a question that I'm sure has been asked before:
How do I access DOS files on my second hard disk?  When I try dosdir on
/dev/hd10 - /dev/hd1d and on /dev/rhd10 - /dev/rhd1d, all I get is the
error:
dosdir: can't open /dev/hd10
Am I doing something wrong?  Is there something I forgot to do?  I can
read DOS files fine from the floppies, but that's extremely inconvenient
for moving files between the two disks.
Also, I just recently (about half an hour ago) got the public domain
program Pcomm (thank you Emmet P. Gray) working under Xenix.  But, I am
now having problems doing XMODEM transfers from my college account to my
Xenix machine.  I've been able to do XMODEM transfers to and from my
college account before using ProComm + under DOS.  Has anyone else been
experiencing problems like this?  Can anyone recommend a solution?  Please
no answers like "Go by <your favorite comm. prog.>" as I'm trying to stay
away from negative money flows.  :)
   Thanks much.
