[Coco] My ROT/ROD collection

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi Bill, 

While I have not been able to check many Rainbow on Disk, it now appears that the DECB files on the second side are mainly missing. 

Oct_1987, 
Apr_1988, 
Jun_1988, 
Aug_1988, 
Dec_1988, 
Jun_1989, 
Jul_1989, 

are some that the Paper inserts (And many of those are also missing) say DECB files were on the second side. 

Will you please confirm that you do not have the original Falsoft Rainbow On Disks for these issues. 

And that you prepared the copies in your dropbox in a way that would not strip out the DECB files on the second side. 

If both are true then I suspect that the disks you have may have been created from what was on a BBS or perhaps the Internet and the error occurred then. 

Will you please report the .dsk creation dates for one issue per year. 

The earliest date for the Rainbow on Disk I have is 2009. 
---------------------------------
The set of Rainbow on Disk under the snow hopefully were created in such a way that the DECB files on the second side were kept.
