[Coco] Rainbow on disk

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi Steve Ostrom,

You may have a SOLID GOLD POT at the end of the Rainbow if what you say is true.

You bring up a point that I realized but had no answer. 

Yes many ROTROD are missing and what you have may make the ones we have more complete.

I checked one issue against the 10 Year ROTROD index and the very first one had a missing file. 

After the project is sent to RTM (Release To Manufacturing) I was thinking about doing a query of the 10 Year Index against what we have to see get a sense of how bad the missing file problem. 

But then having the right file names does not say the contents are correct. (And the OS-9 sides are not in the index.)

Hopefully your roof is like my childhood home, at such an angle that the deep snow slides off. (Google Earth opens with my Childhood home.)
