Could someone explain how to tell if your 1541 disk drive is out of
alignment? I have seen several articles on the subject, but not having
experienced any problems with my 1541 for over a year and a half (that's
right, a year and a half) I've ignored said articles.

Last night I had trouble booting Infocom's ENCHANTER(tm), a game which
depends rather heavily on loading individual disk sectors. If I could
get the game going at all, it had trouble recognizing normal commands.
At one point, thanks to data mutilation, I was permanently teleported 
to the room "  zxl" and was stuck there. (NOTE to non-ENCHANTER players: 
there IS no such room in the game.

I tried other disks, and experienced similar problems. Do I have to have
my drive re-aligned? Can I do it myself? Any help would be appreciated.

	Please reply by mail, Thanks in advance.
