I looked up the file I got the source from, and it was biosdisk.c.  it
states:
/* Copyright (C) 1995 DJ Delorie, see COPYING.DJ for details */
/*
 * BIOSDISK.C.
 *

so I would need copying.lib and copying.dj too?  I just wanted to make
sure.
I also assume I would need to include the above copyright notice from
the source code in my code as well, yes?
