[Coco] Orchestra-90 (again)

[Bob Devries]

Hi all,

a while ago, I asked some questions regarding Orchestra-90. I'd like to 
produce ASCII files from the optimized Orchestra-90 files I have on disk 
(OS9 disk, of course :) ).

I've been doing some investigation, and found that it's not just a simple 
high-bit-set situation. There appears to be a lot more involved.

Sadly, I don't have space to set up my Coco 3 to do more investigation on 
the real thing. Hmmm. maybe I can use the emulator for some more testing.... 
just thought of that now.

Could some adventurous soul here make a short O-90 file and save it in both 
"standard" (non-optimized) format, and in optimized format, and save both to 
a disk file, and email that to me?

Meanwhile I'll try to use an emulator to do the same thing to see if that 
works.
