Here is my collection of some of the programs I have come up with which will enhance some of your programs (like Tasword and VU-Calc) to make full use of your Microdrives.

With Tasword, one hint that will help in re-saving text files when several are on one tape is to place several asterisks at the last position in the file in line 300. This will create a file on tape capable of holding up to 300 lines, even though your current file is smaller. This will prevent saving over the next program or file on that tape.
