K&R, of course. i dunno if the image is part of the -port for the emulator, but you should still be able to get the RL01 disk image at gatekeeper.dec.com. jim -- All opinions expressed are mine, if you | "I will not be pushed, stamped, think otherwise, then go jump into turbid | briefed, debriefed, indexed, or radioactive waters and yell WAHOO !!! | numbered!" - #1, "The Prisoner" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KC5VDJ - HF to 23cm KC5VDJ@NW0I.#NEKS.KS.USA.NOAM kc5vdj@swbell.net IC-706MkII, IC-T81A, HTX-202, HTX-212, HTX-404, KPC3+, PK-232MBX Grid: EM28px ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ET has one helluva sense of humor, always anal-probing right-wing schizos!
