Is it meant that there is a new disk image there? Please bear in mind
that I have already corrected the bug in DISPLAY 0.13 found by John
Elliott (now it is version 0.13b). I have submitted the files directly
to Blair, as it seems I cannot use FTP in this machine for unknown
reasons yet (as soon as it is on ibiblio, I'll announce it
immediately).

I am not for filling the virtual boot disk much. In particular, I see
no reason why MORESYS should go there (it is neither base nor used in
the install, AFAIK, as PG).

Bootlace? What is this?

Perhaps it could help more if you could determine in which version the
incompatibility was introduced (there have been several changes
recently).
