[Coco] RiBB2.02s.arc

[Ron Bihler]

Thanks,

I am looking for the RiBBS sources files, any version will work.  This 
looks like the format that RiBBS was distributed in.  One larger Arc 
file with several ar files each containing a bunch of programs or 
modules that went together. 
The distributed files will have B09 packed modules and ml routines.  
Again I am hoping to come across the source at some time, but thanks to 
Wayne's efforts it appear we will be able to back into the source.  
However that will loose the variable names and any comments I had within. 

Let me know what you find in there, but at first glance I am thinking 
it's the distribution file set.
