This is cool. Yeah, I had some tool I used back then -- does KUTIL ring a bell? But I don't think I really NEED anything in that track for my backups. If I was to recreate a boot for Leisure Suit Larry or any of the games for OS-9, I'd want a new boot anyway for CoCoSDC... I think?

I'll have to start exploring websites. I don't think I even knew you had a website, Gene.
