                             ASCENTIA 900N ASTDU PROGRAM ERROR


PROBLEM:        After creating the ZDISK Utility diskette, the ASTDU program
                will display the message:

                             "Unable to access file C:\ASTDU\".

CAUSE:          There are extra blank lines at the end of the ZDISK110.AST.
                The ASTDU program is interpreting these blank lines as a
                filename, therefore, there is no filename indicated in the
                error message.

                      updated to eliminate this error message.  This file is
